What was it that inspired you to write?

I was inspired by films and the books I read as a child. Arthurian Legend, Greek and Roman history.

Similarly to everyone else who commented, my inspiration came from reading and writing as a child.

However, I agree with Asuntha, dreams can be great too! I keep a pad by my bed to jot down things I've dreamt about when I wake up! It's amazing what your brain can conjure!

It helps to have a crazy imagination, too. One that goes hand in hand with the desire to escape from reality ;)

What to say,it's my passion and also a strong feeling in myself to be involved in something,which is in writing career ; also to be recognizable by the society..personally, i want to be respected by someone who didn't respect me before for who i am ..........And, i'm always surrounded by books and naturally, i have the tendency to write.SO,THAT'S it...

My very first stories were inspired by my dreams. For some reason, I think it's the first few that really count!
