Spark of Inspiration

For any of you who have children, you might have seen the movie, “Ella Enchanted.” Well, that story was written by Gail Carson Levine, who also wrote, “Writing Magic,” which I have been reading.

I absolutely love this book. It’s amusing, fast paced and full of ideas and writing exercises to engage your mind on developing plot, setting and characters.

Here is the author in this YouTube clip talking about her writing. She shares how her story on how Ella Enchanted became a movie. I find it interesting to hear a writer share their story from idea to publication. It’s not all glamour, as we would think.
