If you have not subscribed yet, subscribe to receive tips and resources on writing, creativity and the Interview With an Artist series. For the past month, I have been getting inspired by real life people as I walk to metro station. I kept seeing a dad who is always pushing a baby trolley with his baby. I did not know if the baby is a boy or girl. That kind of got me into writing a fictional story. As the days went on, I kept seeing him with the trolley. And one night as I walked home, I saw him with his wife. Not surprised but spoiler alert: the main male character, in which he is the muse, is a single dad, which kinds of ruins my creative flow as to what happens as the fictional story goes on. Writer’s block definitely happened and will keep happening. But some romance tropes might help. That is probably what I would add and learn more about next. Fingers crossed. If you like reading this newsletter, share with your friends on Twitter, LinkedIn, Whatsapp or Email to help me reach more people. I am looking for artists or writers for the Interview With an Artist series. Hit reply if you want to be interviewed or have any artist or writer recommendations. It is the first time ever that I have gotten inspired by a real life person to tell a story. As I wrote the story day after day, I also noticed a few things in real life as I bumped into my fiction muse. To be honest, he is not tall but seems like a cool dad. What a pity that he is a single dad in the story. I might make up for it. That is probably what goes on in a writer’s brain as they walk and people watch?
