Letters To Juliet

I just watched this movie tonight with the boyfriend and let me tell you... It's stories like these that move me. They get you right where it matters. They make me want to write. They inspire me. They take your heart and bring you on a wonderful journey that leaves you wanting more; wanting that story, that experience.

My dream is to be able to bring a story like that, one that inspires people and moves people, to the hearts of all of you. I want my imagination to come alive and paint a beautiful picture through words. Not many movies do this for me, however, Letters To Juliet definitely did. Other movies like The Notebook, A Walk To Remember, P.S. I Love You, Sabrina, An Affair To Remember, Rear Window, and a few others also inspire me.

After watching that movie my first instinct that overcame was to whip out my laptop and write. So I'm writing. Granted, this is just a blog post but it's something. I need to let my imagination unwind and flourish so I'm getting these feelings out first. I wanted to share with all of you about one of my inspirations. 

Do any movies/shows inspire you to write?

So, I am losing hours at my job. I'm barely making it by with the little hours I already get. Which means a few things... Get a second job, finish my writing, get my writing published so I can just work at home and write, write, write!

Now if I could only finish something... UGH!! Does anybody else have this problem or does it just pertain to me?

The end before the beginning?

So, in my first post I had asked for some advice/tricks of the trade of writing. One person said that I should try writing the ending and then go back to the beginning. Just write and write and write and edit later. Sounds like a wonderful idea and I am definitely going to be trying that later today and I will definitely keep you guys posted.

Just wondering.. What do you guys use to write (besides your wonderful imaginations). Like do you use a specific program or something. I have seen a lot of novel software out there and was curious as to what you guys thought about it.

Also, if you have any other tricks of the trade secrets/ideas don't hesitate to let us know! I'm sure we all could use the help!

much love everyone!
