My favorite way to find inspiration when I'm looking to write something brand new is to look at scenery. It really does work.
I like doing that too - browsing the internet for photos. Pinterest is fab for this. Type in one word and you can a world of different possibilities.
Lucky! I don't get to travel too much - though yesterday was a rare day - I went to Crystal Beach. Hadn't been there in years. Love your pug avatar!
Ontario is too big. I've lived in 705, 519, two 905s (long distance), and 416, and have still only seen one of Canada's southern shores.
writing is my inspiration. I try to write about something, and then something completely different comes out.
This happens to me, too. Also, when I feel really angry at someone, for instance, my best friend who says she hates me, I take it out in my character. I was having some problems with a friend once, and so was my character so I made her just scream at them because that's what I wanted to do.
