Byron is a cutie, though. He's very soppy and very gentle. How could I resist sneaking him in to a book? (Like my reindeer... No, dear ed, I am not planning reindeer in the French duo. Or could I...?) Melanie – I have to stop my subsidiary characters taking over! Byron is a cutie, though. He’s very soppy and very gentle. How could I resist sneaking him in to a book?

I'm on a research trop this weekend which will set off a couple of lightbulbs, I'm sure. Caroline – they come from the weirdest places.

I recently started going to gym with a personal trainer. She's so gorgeous and fit and *tan*, I'm thinking I have to set a story around the health/fitness industry. Now I just have to work out the details, which must, of course, include a totally sexy man worthy enough to win this exceptional gal :) What a gorgeous puppy!!!

They make great subsidary characters, don't they?! I have written a whole book once after hearing the first line of a song sung by the gorgeous Italian quartet El Divo. It set the whole mood for the novel and yes, of course it was an Italian hero. Songs are great, pictures too and sometimes just something someone said about an issue or an event. It's amazing how a writer's mind will twist and turn and construct something out of seemingly nothing or at least something other people would think is inconsequential. Good luck all you aspring writers. I wish there had been all these fabulous contests when I was starting out. The list of hints is wonderful. Even I am going to go back over my opening scene in my wip and make sure I am following orders! All the best, Melanie Love your take on ideas, Kate, especially your comment about your dog.
