![]() ![]() What do I do if I’m starving for inspiration?Īfter 4 long, intricate novels, I now know that I am pushing creativity too hard, that I have to step back and let it unfold at its own pace, and that pace doesn't pick up if I worry. I thought one of two women would be the main character, but lo and behold, it was Louis XIV himself because of particular issues he faced in 1661, the time period I chose to write from, and because of the truly "princely" behavior he displayed. ![]() How did these women feel about that, I always wondered, because some of them were able to become friends again-so that is the seed of Before Versailles. The personal relationships of Louis XIV always intrigued me, that he fell in love with his sister-in-law, then her maid of honor, then that maid of honor's friend, then that friend's friend.not all at once, but over the course of 20 years. ![]()
