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.

Well...my inspiration to write, came when 9-11 happened, i personally wasn't affected by losing family or friends, but i felt what other's went through and that's when i wrote my first poem, called United, it was read at school over announcements and published, and from then writting just opened me up, it's a way i can express myself and who i really am, without it i dont know who or what i would be. it helps me relaive so much stress, pain, anger, love, hurt, happiness, and saddness, it's just a really great way for me to show people, hey this is the "real" me, this is who i am, this is what i feel, and i think alot of other people can realate to what i say, well in some of my poems. lol. i think writting is also just a good way to get things out that we may not want to say outloud....well those are my thoughts...wow....lol...
