So I was looking for inspiration.
First I did a search for castle pictures. There are a lot of gorgeous pictures. A. Lot. I felt inspired just looking at them. Here's a couple:
(The one I wanted to show you the most is all rights reserved and I don't want to step on anyone's proverbial toes. So just go HERE if you are interested. GORGEOUS!

| This is a scene from Edward Scissorhands, but it's exactly how I picture Layla wandering through Tavares' castle. |

| From Internet Pop Culture. I love this. The sky is PERFECT |

| From timepassages tumblr This is not what I envisioned the entryway to be, but once I saw that picture I thought it was PERFECT! |

Tada!
As for the title - In the book I reference Magic or Enchantment as almost a living force (very inspired by Mercedes Lackey's 100 Kingdoms books) but I didn't like the terms "Magic" or "Enchantment" so I looked up both word in various languages thanks to Google Translator. "Magiciste" is I don't remember what, but it is different enough that I like it and looks enough like Magic not to be too confusing. And so I decided to use it for the title. For now anyway. But I likes it :D
What do you do to inspire yourself when you're dragging on a project?

Beautiful photos!
I do the same thing you just did. I google pictures, make book covers and even did a book trailer once to re-energize myself.
Your cover is awesome BTW. Very unique.
when i'm dragging my feet, i read blogs and stuff ;)
and i LOVE the timepassages tumblr pic! LOVE IT!
Yay for finally thinking of a name!! I am most excited for you.
I tend to gobble down books when I am trying to inspired to write.
Ummm, good question...I think reading similar books to what it is I'm writing.
Keep working! It'll get to where you like eventually!
Lovely photos!
Um, I use the fear tactic: what will all the horrible reviewers say about this piece of rubbish? Then I get going!
