Your inspiration to write. Options

[TheSilenceInDict...]

Now, I think I'll be the first one to do this.
I think we need discussion in this thread and the like, not limiting ourselves to only submitting and commenting work.

So I'll start us off with a cheesy question!

My inspiration comes from self-conflict, what goes on in my head, my views on things, and experiences much note-worthy.
Sometimes just letting things out onto paper is so relaxing.

Oh, and BTW, let's try to keep this going, and not just a 'reply to the topic question' thread. Try asking about what inspired a certain work from one of the authors here, etc etc.

What Inspires Me?

That is a big question.
My imagination. Music I listen to. Old journal's I find.
People I love, who don't even know me. God.




I feel like, if I forget to record a thought I'll lose it forever. If I forget to describe this really beautiful person, I'll forget their facial expressions.
I take pictures of things I see, so I'll remember what I was thinking when I saw them, and then write it down.
I'm not the best writer, and I probably will never be note worthy. But writing is a big part of me. It comes from my fears and my hopes. Even if I never become a great poet, or novelist, or journalist, or philosopher.... I'm content.... because it's not a job to me. It's my life.
