Spark of Inspiration

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

You'll have to excuse me if I'm not writing much tonight... I'm exhausted, and I've written more today than I have in a long time. I was able to accomplish so much in my novel today!
As I wrote the other night, I made a pretty big plot decision in my book that laid the groundwork for the rest of the chapter that I was working on. But even though I had this decision under my belt, I still wasn't sure how the remainder of the chapter was going to go, so I stepped away from the book once again. This morning, however, I had this sudden spark of inspiration and sat down to my computer to work for as long as I could.

​After writing a mere four sentences or so since before we left New York, I was able to write more than three pages today, which felt like a huge accomplishment. The whole plot line for this chapter unfolded in my mind more quickly than I could type. I actually felt like I was forgetting to put dialogue in the writing because I couldn't type fast enough to get all of my ideas down.

I have so much that I want to do with my novel; topics that I want to cover, dialogue that I want to include, situations that I want to put my characters in. Sometimes I can't believe how much I've already written. I look at the document open on my computer and stare at how slim the scroll bar has become... it's barely a slit. Then I think about how far I still have to go. I'm well beyond the halfway point of my book, but I still have so much that I want to put in there.

It's amazing to think that someday I will be submitting this novel to a literary agent. Pieces may be edited and revised again, and then one day I will get my manuscript in front of a publishing company. Within a few years, my gigantic document will hopefully be sitting on the shelves of bookstores all over the country. That would be a dream come true. That dream is what pushes me to continue writing and thinking up new ideas, even when I feel like I have nothing left to write.

Everyone needs to find that inspiration in them to follow through on their dreams. Reach for the stars... you can accomplish anything you set your mind to!

Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
