Most of you know my beautiful sister came to visit this past summer, and left Niece 2 with me. (That could be good or bad, depending on your point of view!) And while Sis was here, I took every possible opportunity to play hooky from life so we could spend some time together. One of my faves: a trip to an area vineyard. . .. NATCH! 🙂
At King Estate Winery, we wandered through the grounds, enjoyed the scenery, had lunch, drank some wine. . .. And that’s when La Muse woke up.
I say it was the wine. . .. But what muse wouldn’t be inspired?
What if the hero/heroine woke up to this every day? Would the beauty of the valley even register?
Beyond those doors – the tasting room! But what if this was the entry to the villain’s home?
A flight of reds. . .. A hero or heroine vintner?
Food! As beautiful to eat as it looked. Of course, in my story, I can see the hero interviewing a new personal chef. . ..
Really, inspiration is everywhere! Some days, like this one, it’s easier for La Muse to come up with a scene, or a story line, or a character trait. Most of it is just fun musings, but occasionally, she comes up with a nugget.
Which makes me wonder. . .. Maybe I should play hooky more often. . .. 🙂
Happy writing,
Melia
I vote for more hooky! It’s such a great feeling when the brain relaxes and it’s hard to me to do that during the day-to-day. I mean, sure, meditation. But hooky and wine sounds better 😉
looks like a beautiful day 🙂
Your day sounds wonderful! Playing hooky on occasion is a great way to get re-inspired – as you just proved 🙂
