Over the years, I have been told by many people I have a great imagination and I enjoy using it. I want to use it for whatever I do in life. Good luck with that though.
I get most of my ideas while I'm out walking by myself; thinking out loud is the best way. For me, this is the best place to recite, out in the open air. Back in high school, I told one of my friends what I enjoyed doing in my spare time at lunch by myself and when I told him about reciting dialogue, he asked for an example. I did a few and all he said was "Oh my god! How do you do that?" Mum isn't very kind about it. I could be imitating Darth Vader or Daleks from "Doctor Who" and all she says is "Shut up! You're not..." AS you can imagine, this does wonders for my confidence and self-esteem. To be honest, I lost those years ago.
I've jotted down some ideas for stories; for one, I wrote just various scenes that I came up with on the spot. It's not finished yet. The princess' name is Shara (love that name). I've used it in a number of fantasy tale ideas. She's the kind of princess who is sweet, kind and loved by all, not the type who are very full of themselves who have let their power and position go to their head.
I do enjoy reading fantasy (elves, witches, fairies) although the ones I enjoy most are female-oriented ones. I have read/or enjoy reading the "Throne of Glass" novels with Aelin Galathynius, "Sophia: Princess Among Beasts" and the "Court of Thorns and Roses" series. For me, I prefer female heroes like Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Zatanna over male heroes. That's why for my fantasy stories, the woman is the main character.
