IT'S TIME FOR THE
INSECURE WRITER’S SUPPORT GROUP BLOG DAY
The first Wednesday
of each month, members of IWSG announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG Day post. These questions may prompt you to share insight or a personal experience or story. Remember, the question is optional. IWSG was founded by Alex J. Cavanaugh and is a forum of writers who gather to talk about writing and the writer's life.The awesome co-hosts for the February 5 posting of IWSG are: Lee Lowery, Ronel Janse van Vuuren, Jennifer Hawes, Cathrina Constantine, and Tyrean Martinson!
February 5 question – Has
a single photo or work of art every inspired a story? What was it and did you
finish it?
I have posted before...
About things that scared
me while growing up...
Like watching Bela
Lugosi in Dracula on TV.
Many nights with my head under the covers.....
I believed Dracula was going to morph into a bat...
I believed Dracula was going to morph into a bat...
Fly in my bedroom
window...
And turn me into a
vampire...
So I kept my window open just a few inches in the summer.
So I kept my window open just a few inches in the summer.
My dad would always
come in and open it wide...
“No, daddy,” I’d squeal,
“don’t open the window all the way.”
“But it’s too hot in
here.”
“But I’m afraid a
bird will fly in.”
(Yeah, I wasn’t
thinking bird, I was thinking bat)
Reluctantly he’d close
it.
But bats and vampires...
Weren’t the only
things that scared me.
My parents had quite
an interesting library...
And even before I could read...
I’d peruse the illustrations in those books...
I’d peruse the illustrations in those books...
Like Milton’s Paradise Lost
And Dante’s Inferno
Both book
illustrations influenced my first book, Azael’s Lot that included
angels, fallen angels, and demons
But there’s one illustration...
In Eugene Field's Poems of Childhood...
That even today gives me the shivers...
It's "Seein' Things at Night"...
Illustrated by Maxfield Parrish.

And why you ask...
Does it still give me the shivers?
Because ghosts...
Are in my “Realms of Possibilities”

Of things that do go bump and boo in the night.
And you?
Did an illustration or
photo ever influence you?
Always,

I believe these things are real.
Those images would scare any child! Like your own personal hell.
You do know bats can squeeze into places thinner than an inch, right?
The art of Dante's Inferno is enough to make anyone a believer. I lean towards seeing something creepy in the ordinary.

The ghosts give me shivers too! For the same reason you listed. That painting seems like it could launch a thousand stories though. Yikes!
Wow, yeah, they would sure scare many a child indeed. Bats can be crafty and get in small spots. Watch out lol
I was drawn to high fantasy like Dark Crystal, Willow, and I'd read Beowulf, The Hobbit so my writing started out with a huge fantasy kick with romance in it. I tried writing Paranormal which was big because it involved humans with no dwarves or goblins (lol) then one day, the distributor told me it was not marketable because of a fantasy saturation.
I was so bummed but it helped to push me hard into writing realistic fiction. I can write that without batting an eyelash now along with other genres.

How cool that you had those books with the illustrations, but definitely creepy for a child!
those images all made me think of desperate yearning need — very inspirational for a fearful story! “help us!”
stopped by to say thanks for stopping by my Beast World campaign!
Tara Tyler Talks
Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
