Writers
find inspiration in the strangest of places, and for me it happens all the
time. I recently took my husband and children to our local
Legoland Discovery Centre to participate in the Lego brick building
challenge. That was for my
SpookyMrsGreen blog. We had lots of fun that day, and I took the opportunity to watch our
fellow Lego enthusiasts as they enjoyed the discovery centre.
At one
point I sat at a table sipping my coffee, and my husband was distracted by his
phone. Our children had run away to play in one of the Lego play areas, so I looked
all around at the building. It is basically a big warehouse filled with Lego
themed equipment and rides. I watched the staff members hurrying to and fro,
speaking into their walkie talkies, giving out orders, dashing from one job to
the next, and I wondered what they do when the discovery centre closes for the
day. What are their homes like? Do they have partners, children, families
waiting for them? Are they completely human? How could I incorporate this
domestic setting into my vampire and werewolf stories? Watch this space…
