Hey, Jude (ok, no more Beatles songs)
I soooo agree with your hanging inspiration..I have one right now that’s dangling in the cold Arctic wind!
Nice interview!

Hi Lisabet,

Yup, the dangling scenario happens to me a lot. Often, I’ll try to stop whatever I’m doing and let the idea expand. That’s when good stories happen. It’s just a matter of letting the story unfold and being able to get the high points down on paper/computer.

When I write or jot myself into a corner, I find that THE most frustrating. I find grabbing Jenna and playing the ‘what if’ game often helps. Sometimes, just letting a story sit is the only answer too.

Thanks so much for coming by.

Hugs

Hi Mog,

You and I have talked about how ideas come to me. It honestly surprised me that you weren’t blessed with the same thing. I thought everyone made up silly stories while sitting at stop lights and such. LOL Thanks so much for dropping in and saying hey

Hi, Jude,

Excellent interview. I find it interesting that you’ll have an idea that brings you just so far and then leaves you hanging…like your escapee from alien enslavement. That occasionally happens to me as well. I’ll start with “what if”… and the next thing I know I have an impossible situation for which I don’t (as yet) know the solution!

Best,
Lisabet

Good interview. I have to say the idea of a litle goblin under the desk is an idea to conjour with….

Inspiration is something that we all get from time to time, and it;s a wonderful thing . I know you get inspired to go to work – I only wish I did!

Thanks for letting us into a little corner of your head, Jude. Keep on truckin’

Hey Blondie!

It’s been awhile. How’s stuff and what’cha been up to… or down to depending on how you look at these things down under. *G*

So, you’ve turned your daughter loose on me. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for her. LOL

Never you mind feeling sorry for my goblins. They’re very well taken care off, I assure you.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Jude who?
Yes Ma’am you called… Hi Jude great interview, I do feel sorry for your goblin. I bet he gets a hard time but your inspirations seem worth it. You have certainly inspired me at times and recently I pointed my daughter Zoe in your direction, she is big on reading vampires and changelings ect and has started to write a bit.

Keep up the good work
Kindest regards
Tony

Hey Jude,
Nice interview. I love the idea of having a kinky gnome guy standing around giving you inspiration. Especially if said gnome guy looks more like a guy and less like a gnome.

Congrats on all the books and I can’t wait to see where your new idea takes you.

Great interview Jude! Not sure about the gnome guy, but I think this is funny because one of the souvenirs I brought home from visiting you was a little statue of two, long haired gnomes sitting together. Could those be our muses, and did I steal yours by mistake? *sigh*… the guilt.

LOL

Hugs,

Jenna
