lets talk about inspiration. It can come from many places and take many different forms. Sometimes you could just be driving down the road see something that maybe you had never noticed on a road that you have been on hundreds of times, yet BAM it pops out at you. This happens to me quite often, I get some of my best ideas for writing from things I see. Like the other day, I was at the store and saw some journals, and thought "this book I'm writing would be better if I do it as if it was a journal instead of just some one telling the story." So I went through, changed some stuff, and I think my story flows so much better now.
Also I know some people like me write better when they have certain things. Like for me, I can get more done when I have a Dr. Pepper refill sitting in front of me, and music. You give me those two things and the writing just flows from my mind to the paper. Take those away and I have trouble thinking straight, and it takes long to say what I want.
What inspires you when doing something creative?
I agree, things you see can inspire in weird ways. Ways you don't think they would be able to inspire, then you say the words out loud (like me) and it sounds CRAZY but on paper it sounds beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThere are also things that can block inspiration. We as writers need to stay away from that! Get ourselves more inspiration
yeah, football is a good blocker, I would know lol
ReplyDeleteMesses in different places can do it too. =)
