My favorite inspiration comes from strolling through deviantart and Istockphoto. This one by =hybridgothica is my inspiration for a Rift Wars piece. (Please note that I purchase images from this artist under my real name so no stealing this gorgeous piece. It’s copyright to =hybridgothica and is a direct link from deviantart. No downloads, please ;) .)

Doesn’t she look fabulous?

This time it was a video that captured my imagination. Lynn Viehl gave an awesome head’s up on a cool new video by Linkin Park, and let me tell you, this is DEFINITELY inspiration for my new Sci Fi Romance.

So I’ve turned to several of my favorite sci-fi based shows. Here’s my inspiration for the day. Enjoy

I was there, I saw it *grr* And don’t get me started on the other ‘improvements’ Mr Lucas made to the first, proper and best Star Wars trilogy…
Okay, removing the nerdy hat. What has that got to do with Inspire Me Tuesday? Well, I found this today:

Han Solo
solo
“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”

Han Solo is the fucking nuts.  I’m sure I don’t need to tell you guys this, but it’s the god-honest truth. This badass, gunslinging space cowboy doesn’t give a shit about anything, and is so unassailably cool that I could probably get away with just posting this dude’s name and walking away.  He’s that fucking awesome.

Read the rest here

And he, Han Solo, is the inspiration for a new wip.  For the heroine, to be exact.  She’s going to be fun…and get her prince(ess) lolol

Yes, I admit it, I’m a Col. John Sheppard junkie…but in War Flesh he just…works, lol  And I’m not fighting my instinct when it says:  Go on, look at this pic, just that little bit longer… *grin*
