re/INSPIRATION :: 012710

The first re/INSPIRATION for this year! Three weeks too late! Please don’t frown, I’ve got some scattered good things here that are inspiring me this week. As usual, for those who don’t come here often, re/INSPIRATION happens (every) Wednesday and is just a small collection of the things that I find inspirational this week. You should know the drill by now.

Jared Lewis drew a nice collection of Snow Crash characters. While I’ve always been partial to Hiro Protagonist, His Y.T. made me want to change my clothes and do something. I have a need for that jacket! With his great attention to detail and totally cool attitude, every time I pass by Jared’s blog I pull my computer out and stare at her. It’s time to make some words.

The Things We Learn Along the Way :: “Maybe I shouldn’t draw my inspiration from Quantum Mechanics and marine biology, or black hole theories and National Geographic documentaries. But I do”. My partner in crime Magen hits a vertebrae on the spine of academia vs. writing.

I’ve been reading through my favourite little guilty pleasure, Junjo Romantica, lately. Three interconnected love stories, each with their own bits of problems and wonder. Sometimes I just need something so simple. Minimal. It’s a reminder to weave love stories back into my writing life.

Lastly, Totally haunting and lovely, Soap&Skin keeps popping up when I least expect it and tossing me around. I feel like a little boat on choppy waters. I don’t want to feel any other way.
