Inspiration comes from places I visit, people I talk to, books I read (Haruki Murakami), music I listen to (Lana del Rey) and movies I watch (Eat Pray Love, To Rome with Love), even the food I eat, (like todays creamy mushroom soup).
You might ask what do I need inspiration for? I need it so I can work, create and dare to make big and small changes.
I was suppost to finish my book in August, that was my deadline. But I'm not done yet. I kind of underestimated this huge piece of work and I need more time to get it done. I'm so captured by my book, right now I'm working on the dialogs and they are turning out really well. I can't wait to finish it.
It's a long and tough process, but ones you're half way through, you can't stop. It's been keeping me busy since I started in March and as time goes by I get more and more excited about the whole thing.

I'm working really hard on finishing it. But going through the process of writing opens up for a whole new world. When I started writing my book, the main character Sofia was suppost to reflect me, my personality. She was suppost to be a version of me. Just as the other main character Amir was suppost to reflect him.
Now more than half way through my book, I don't see Sofia as me anymore. Actually I can't believe that she's representing my story. It just can't be true. I can't imagine that I went through all of it without going insane. It's just too much for one person.
When I read it all, I feel bad for Sofia, I feel sorry for her. And I wish I could change the plot and lead her to something else, something better, in stead of watching her fall apart and destroying herself by the wrong decisions. But I can't.
There's a reason why she must suffer, why she must face all the misery, there's a deeper meaning. All of it is a path towards self understanding, development and growth. She will never be the same, she turns into a different person, a person who's ready for just about anything, she's not afraid anymore 'cause she already faced all of her fears...
I have a really good feeling about it, something tells me that this one is worth working on. I put everything I have into it, 'cause it's my baby, my own little story.
