Your Eureka Moment

by Thomas Kavanagh
21st December 2013

So I've been struggling a bit with my book, especially with trying to get it to flow the way I'd like it to.

Today I had my 'EUREKA' moment where I felt it was starting to get there. So my questions is, do you guys have eureka moments? Or is your writing much more structured?

GO!

I love my eureka moments. I've had lots of them. Structure is all very well, but how can you ever expect to really surprise the reader if you've never surprised yourself.

I often have eureka moments when I'm working on my book because I write in a very unstructured way. I love those moments. It's exciting!

When first inspired to write , where does it come from?, A friend says something or you overhear it from someone else and that gives you an idea or maybe you were thinking about what you just heard someone say on the radio or T.V.I strongly believe that once an idea is conceived by one it is the tip of the iceberg and you then work to find the rest of the story .Its there waiting for you to unravel its' secrets, with positive thought.
