Top Ten Writing Inspirations

April 30th, 2008 by Shireen

Having made a commitment to them and seeing how much Lifeliner meant to them, it inspired me to begin the research on the book and to keep going even after I’d suffered a life-altering brain injury. But I have to admit I got close to quitting at one point. The brain injury had taken away everything I needed to write a book, never mind a short story, and no matter how hard I tried, how many treatments and therapies I undertook, all the pieces necessary to write a book were not coming back. Lifeliner was now out of reach for me, and with a breaking heart I was getting ready to tell them that. And then one of the Taylors brought me that last piece, that piece I had looked so long for and hadn’t found, and I was off again. And this time I FINISHED the damn thing. The reason for writing a book is the ultimate inspiration.

    You’re welcome! I didn’t know you were a fellow Stout fan. Cool. You’re the only other mystery buff I know who likes him!
