I would go to Bagshot Row in Hobbiton, the home of Bilbo Baggins from the Lord of the Rings. The movie just makes it look like a sunny place and reminds me of the fields of the Teletubbies which kind of make me feel happy: a place that would lift my spirits, where nothing is ever sad.

Hi Gordon, I received the book and replied to you. Didn't you get it? I'm supposed to finish this book on Nehemiah before I can do yours, trouble is I don't know much about Nehemiah keke. After that will read yours. Btw, do you have a website or a blog? Would you be interested in recording a podcast with me?
Let me know.

Ooh! I have 190 books on my TBR list. But for the summer I'm looking forward to reading Color of Heaven by Julianne Maclean, Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis and Killing Kennedy by Bill O'Reilly. These are the books I absolutely must finish before the summer is through and monsoon begins in my part of the world.
I hope I can power through! :)

The time I was at a a train station in the waiting area and someone entered that dingy, beer drizzled room. I didn't see him leave, but twenty minutes I was alone and still felt weird. You have this eerie feeling..... So I went out and stood at the platform in the bitter cold. I did write it into a short story. Hehe, but I never submitted it. I can laugh now, but back then I was scared. And with everyone covered up, ears, hands, nose, mouth, you can't really tell much about a face.

My favorite fictional couple and I know people might find this weird is Vera Stanhope and Joe Ashworth. They're not a traditional "couple." She's the older woman boss, the guru.He's the protege, her pupil, under her strict tutelage.
There's this chemistry between them, not quite mother and son, but teacher- student and he longs to be with her, than the wife.
His best moments of the day are working the case, challenging Vera.
Her best ones are proving him wrong, teaching him and feeling proud, when he thinks like her or is right. Their banter and not so on the nose dialogue, is fantastic. Ann Cleeves created wonderful characters.

There's so much inspiration everywhere you look. On my daily commute, when I look outside my window, sometimes I watch a drama or meet someone interesting and it spurs my brain cells to come up with some whacky or intriguing things. Not every idea makes it to my writing, but sometimes things strike you. Your senses are overwhelmed with them. Its not very difficult. The difficult part is distilling all that inspiration.

Sure Gordon, is this a physical book or a e copy, that you will send me?
Just let me know how to go about getting it. I would love to read it. Sounds great!

I think the best thing writing allows you to do is nose around a character's business without ever being questioned. I would never be able to do that in real life. Haha!
It also lets you become a pseudo creator of your own mini-universe in a very similar Inception-esque way, if you know what I mean.
Imagine creating and tearing down worlds in your head. Your imagination can have no limits! Its wonderfully freeing!

The most recent thing I'm writing is a short story for an anthology. Its speculative fiction and I've been watching saeguks of late. So Secret Investigation Record, Splish splash love and Six flying dragons was on my mind a lot. After watching the shows I actually researched the Joseon era, King Sejong's contribution to technology and Jang Young Sil's inventions. That's where I got the idea of doing a short story based in 1420 of the Joseon era. Both of them were men who were far ahead of their time, so a story that was part fantasy and part science fiction came very easily to me. I just hope it gets accepted. (sigh)

Currently, I'm writing women's fiction. Its a drama played out in a Middle Eastern home. While it depicts the problems and pressures of the Arab society, it also reflects the strength women have to overcome prejudices.
