Inspiration is always abound. Life itself is a reflection of drama, and it can be found around nearly every corner of our existence. Sometimes, we need look no further than our own backyard.

Life itself is a reflection of drama. Everyday holds its own set of challenges, comedy, sorrow, enjoyment, love, and conflict. Sometimes, we roll over the little hills barely noticing a disruption in our routines. Others, we scream, cry, or laugh with unbridled delight as we go full speed ahead down mountains that would dwarf even the biggest roller coaster. There's always a stop and go cycle, based on when we rise and when we sleep. Sometimes it's mundane, and other days, it's totally unpredictable.
Nature embodies drama. Few things hold as much sheer power as tsunamis, hurricanes, or tornadoes. They can crop up unexpectedly and in the matter of minutes, turn homes and hearts upside down. Floods, fires, droughts . . . All have the power to effect beyond the boundaries they plague. It goes beyond one person's home, property, or income. Entire communities are affected, and sometimes, the entire economy. If the land is too dry to grow sufficient crops, food supplies diminish and in turn, prices start to rise.
Sometimes, it's much more subtle, but the impact strikes just the same. Last week, I was sitting outside enjoying the crisp autumn air, talking to Mara as I waited to drop my girls off at school. A small cluster of birds drew my attention and I watched as they chirped and twittered amongst themselves, contentedly picking at worms or whatever treats they found on the tree lawn. Out of no where, a huge hawk swept down, snatched one of them up in its talons, and took off, leaving the other birds panicked and confused.
Sure, it's the circle of life, the way of nature . . . but I felt bad for the little bird and its companions. How much more dramatic does it get? There one minute and gone the next. I tried to imagine what it and the others must have felt in that moment, and I ran a long gamut of emotions. It was an example of drama and nature at their finest.
The next time you struggle for ideas, take a look around. People aren't the only things capable of providing drama. Don't forget Mother Nature and the strong role she can play in our lives. Few things are as soothing as a gentle rain, or a warm spring breeze, but she also holds a terrible angry side capable of scaring the bravest of souls.
~Best wishes and happy writing!~

Brooke  : Excellent NL Adriana Noir ! I couldn't agree with you more. The title and brief description is overlooked as an incredibly important part of our work here. It's literally what draws readers in. It's like the old adage says, You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Wonderful NL, I am going to link it in my next Noticing Newbies NL because I think it's very important knowledge to share. Thank you for writing it!  Keep up the great work. :)
 Thank you so much, Brooke! I really appreciate your feedback and am so glad you found it helpful!
