Orson Scott Card once said " When I wrote Ender's Game I drew upon my deep education ! "

Each story I have written , and will yet write draws breath from all that I have learned , struggled , and suffered . Let us not forget John Ronald Ruel Tolkein . It was in the trenches during the First World War that Lord of The Rings was first inscribed . Tolkein's skill with linguistics and familiarity  with the kalevala and runic writings were in large part , the creation of the elvish written and spoken language of quinya . Gene Roddenberry took inspiration when he would see shows on T.V. He thought " I could write scripts ! " Before we knew Star Trek was born . I often merge and fuse together personal life experiences with historical events that happened in my Religion .

The question I must ask now is : What is your inspiration ?
