Inspiration for Writing

My inspiration for writing is always my experiences. Every time I write a story, I am always relating it to something that has happened in the past in some way. My experiences and past is the base of my story lines. They inspire me because they give me a foundation and an idea for what to write. They are what is most important in my life and what bring out the most emotions. When I write a story with a base of something that happened to me, it is more real. It makes it more passionate and I really get into it. If I were to write about something without that foundation, I don't think it would be as good. My experiences make it easier to relate and I can pour my heart into it.

Before I Fall

                Samantha is a senior in high school who is friends with all the right people. She’s in with the “it” crowd, is dating the most popular boy in school, and gets to park in the senior section. Her three best friends are Lindsay, Ally, and Elody and they’ve all have been giving her a hard time about her still being a virgin. Her and her boyfriend, Rob Cokran, have finally decided to seal the deal. It’s the topic of discussion between her and the girls. She feels extremely nervous about it, but tries to pretend that she’s ready for the sake of her friends. ““Don’t forget. It’s all about you and me tonight.” “I haven’t forgotten,” I say, hoping my voice sounds sexy and not scared. My palms are sweating and I pray he doesn’t try to take my hand.” She’s trying to push through her nerves to not get ridiculed by her friends and peers. Will she go through it?
