I blame it on my Gemini birth. 🙂 But having a way to draw on those shiny things is the hard part. They are there, I know they are, but the magpies are sometimes secretive about their stash!

I do think what we write attracts us…but I know I see the dark and the light things-it all sits there in the back of my mind until I need it!! How we use them very much depends on our ‘voice’ as writers be it romance, crime, thriller or even horror…That’s the joy of being a writer!!

Similarly if you write chicklit, is everything bouncy and pink (yes, ok, stereotyping..) Coz as a Crime writer, I see things and am drawn to things dark and violent and twisted. Or maybe I’m like that anyway?

Had one yesterday…and sometime I wonder why it hadn’t clicked before…so pleased you enjoyed the piece. lx

Love the analogy…it’s so true how these pieces get stored and later something activates them. And also true how those connections and a-ha moments come when we’re focused on something other than that task.

I’ve always said writer’s view the world differently and your reference to a magpie nailed it. A lovely comparison. Thanks for the lovely read.

It’s so hard to explain to a non-writer how all these things stay in the subconscious and then get woven together into characters and stories. Thank you for this great metaphor.
