Inspiration

Another of my self explainatory threads.
Just say where you get your inspiration from. I get mine from:
[list][*][b]TV shows[/b], like Firefly,[*][b]Movies[/b], like, naturally, Serenity, Domino, Lord of the Rings...[*][b]Music[/b], basically, anything that fits the mood of what I'm writing,[*][b]Books[/b], usually some of what I'm reading at the time filters into what I'm writing, but not a lot.[*][b]Games[/b]. Yeah, I admit. Video games are good when it comes to describing fights. Hell, some games have a lot of good storylines and ideas.[/list:u]

Believe it or not, I get my insiration from school. There are some interesting people there, that's how my book started. I was bored in chemistry and on the verge of sleeping, therefore Kyoko was too.
I can't seem to get inspiration from movies, it just doesn't work well with me. Music and books do, but movies...nope.

i usually get my inspiration from action movies that include acrobatic-based style of combat, and i also get encouraged following the storyline of various RPG games i've played in my life. Thanks to my inspirations, i can now write my own battle scenes.

Music

School

Who inspired me definetely as a writer was Barry Eisler--genius, he is, and (at first) Robert Ludlum, who I grew out of in 7th grade because I realized that his plots basically repeat themselves ad nauseum.

Music is a huge inspiration for me. It just helps paint a picture in my mind, and I follow what I see and just write it down. Music just is a great booster for me.

Real life, as well. Watching people has turned out to be more useful than originally expected. There is so much drama all the time around us, and we fail to see it, instead trying to nail something far more "Hollywoodish". I mean, most of my muses have been snatched up as I've walked downtown just observing people.

My inspiration comes randomly if I like it I get inspired, basically. Like right now I'm obsessed with DP, though last month and the month before it was X-mne Evo. and before the YuGiOh, along with random movies, songs pictures, things people say... It's really impossible for me not to get inspiration at least twice a day when I'm at school...

From people around me. From new acquantinces. From meeting old friends from, say, 4 to 5 years ago. At times, games, but not usually. Movies, pretty much. Music can help quite a bit too. My inspiration sources are limited. Sad

I get my inspiration from music, and the things in movies that interested me.

Has anyone ever been inspired by dreams?
When I am, I find that they're pretty sweet ideas. Hence my love of nightmares OWNED.

Yes, actually. The mind is quite a scary place when it wants to be.

Sometimes, but that's because my deams tend to continue what I was thinking before I fell asleep (example: A few nights ago I was thinking about an RP I started/fanfic I'm working on and ended up seeing the intire store in my dreams. It's just to bad I forgot, like half of it...)

Crud, forgot to mention that (I'm all about dreams, and I forgot to mention them, how bad of me). Yes, I get inspired by them.

Me, I'm inspired by a lot of random things. Sometimes by school, though that isn't often. Half my characters are based on friends or myself. LOL. And I get a lot of ideas in dreams or when I'm half asleep. Sometimes things just pop out of nowhere. LOL. Strange, ne?

Orlando_Hamar · Very bored Joined: 12 Aug 2005 Posts: 120

Very few of my friends are worthy to have characters based on them. It's mean to say that, but it's true.
However, it does happen.
One of my characters, for instance, is called Paige, and is based around a girl I know and :wub:, called KJ, or Kaige for short. I call her the latter. Black hair, dark eyes, beautiful smile, pierced tongue, sexy style...
uuh...ahem. Smile

Man...I get my inspiration from my dreams, from random songs I hear for the first time, historic events, my friends, cartoons, quirky animals, and of course Tim Burton.
I haven't been doing any writing unfortunately. Just poems while sitting at work, so I think it's about time I write a story '=/.
