Inspiration and more William Shakespeare

I apologize for not writing sooner. Things have been somewhat chaotic in my life at the moment. I don't have much time to say what I would like to say... So please pardon any misspelling and grammar.

I would to write about how my surroundings and life have been and will continue to be an inspiration for my writing. I was stuck with a scene in my current novel of how the character should react in the certain situation he was in. I had taken the dogs out one comfortable breezy evening and sat out there with them and listened to the gentle cool breeze speak to me and it hit me. I immediately began to write and nearly finished that scene until I had to stop and get ready for work, how convenient.

I recently learned this is what inspired my dear distant cousin in several of his works. He was a fascinating person and I hope to continue to learn more about him in the near future as I begin research for my upcoming novels. Speaking of Sir William, I again recently discovers that even if we did share his maternal linage I would still be related to him through his paternal line. I discovered in my family book that his paternal grandfather had married the sister of his maternal grandmother.

Learning more about William's life is in it self an inspiration, learning about the trials that he and the rest of the family faced as well as the beauty that surrounded him within the Warwickshire country side. I was able to recently view a program that followed William from the union of his parents to his death. Upon viewing this program I now have an even greater desire to return to England and walk in his footsteps for myself.  This program also opened my eyes to the greater beauty and inspiration of the outdoors. The good Lord has certainly blessed each and every one of us with life and the beauty that surrounds it.

I must conclude this post for now, because I have made plans with my older sister. We are going to go watch "What to Expect When Your Expecting." I shall post a review probably tomorrow because this evening I am going to see, "The Avengers" with my buddy Andrew too. Have a wonderful day and be sure to take a step outside to enjoy the beauty of nature.
