Writing inspiration in a few different places

The writing has been slow going. There’s a lot of thinking that goes into putting a story together. And, I’m trying to get a better handle on “story”. The Work-In-Progress is going on two fronts: Saving Valentines is still in progress and Tally and Linc seem to asking for more (as are a lot of my readers). I think I have a workable storyline for them. Updates still to come. I want to take a moment to thank all of my readers those that have been along for this writing journey since the beginning and the new ones that have found me with This Much Is True. I am grateful for all of you. As for inspiration with future projects? It seems to derive from this lovely singer, Lana Del Rey.

Katherine’s quotes

"You know what they say about air and water when it comes to fire, don’t you?” she asks.
Now, I’m curious. She hasn’t spoken for the last ten minutes of the drive. “What?”
“Too much air blows out the fire. Too much water destroys it.”
I nod trying to determine what she’s really comparing us to. “The idea would be to keep the flame going, right. For years?” She nods. “Like a relationship. Like a marriage.” She cringes at the word marriage. Noted. “So you need the air—to stay constant—to fan the flames of the fire, and you know, grasshopper,” I smile at her and catch sight of the corners of her mouth turning slightly upward in response to the endearment, “a hot enough fire will burn water, so you have to be careful with the water too.”
“That I do know,” she says softly. “So that’s the truth about air and water.” She sighs deep.
“Which is?”
“It’s hard to maintain the balance to keep the fire going. You have to fan the flames without putting it out with too much water. But too little water will burn the fire right up. Too much fire. Too much destruction. We’re out of control.”
“You’re talking in circles,” I say.
“No. That’s us,” she says with certainty."— Katherine Owen
