Many readers ask me what inspires me and where do I get my ideas. Well, I’m inspired by what movies and TV shows out there that feature strong women and girls, especially in fantasy and science fiction. Where I get my ideas, well, I get there from all around, and mostly from my desires and dreams. More on that in a future post.
Strong Girls in Fantasy
Just tonight I enjoyed watching Lucy and Susan Pevensie in the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
Susan wields the bow and arrow with focus and precision, and Lucy has a dagger and her magic healing potion and courage.
Strong Women in Science Fiction
I just discovered the show Continuum on the SyFy channel.
“A detective from the year 2077 finds herself trapped in present day Vancouver and searching for ruthless criminals from the future.”
Since I haven’t watched it yet, all I can say is that I’m intrigued. I love time travel and smart, savvy women.
