I am lacking inspiration at the moment, and I don't know what to do to help me. Maybe I'm tired or maybe I'm just sad, but I don't know. And to be honest, I don't even want to think about it, but I must if I want my inspiration back so I can write.
So I will talk about inspiration to work me through this.
How about we talk about things that inspire me?
- Shinedown: They are probably my number one inspiration at the moment. I love all of their songs. In fact, if it wasn't for Shinedown, the characters I have created wouldn't be half as awesome as they are now. They'd be dull, one-dimensional losers, and I wouldn't even know what Izzy's powers were without them! Plus, their songs... I mean, if you just listen to their lyrics, they are extremely inspiring. I'll prove it. Let's start with Fly From the Inside
I am focused on what I am after
The key to the next open chapter.
'Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky
Long live the day
That I decided to fly from the inside"
I mean, it's so inspirational. It's all about being focused on the next part of your life, doing what you have to do to get there, and being different from everyone else. Flying from the inside. It's amazing, and they are truly an inspiration to me.
- Reading: There's just something about books that inspire me. Okay, let me rephrase that. There is just something about certain books that inspire me to write and move on with my life. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the plot, the characters, the amazing way that the author strung the words together to convey certain emotions and personalities. It's amazing, and I thrive off of it. I literally study what I read. I study how the author phrased things, what emotions they wanted me to feel, and character personalities. I ask myself what made their characters likeable as soon as I finish the book, and that causes me to think about my own characters and critize them for their two-demensional qualities. Reading makes me a better writer, and it is one of my greatest inspirations.
- Just Writing: I don't know how, but sometimes just writing inspires me. For example, take this blog. I was so uninspired when I started this post, but as soon as I got started the words simply started flowing. Now, I'm ready to just dive right into a character sketch, read, or do whatever. I don't even want to sleep anymore. The power of writing is simply amazing.
Anyway, the power of inspiration is awesome, and somehow my inspiration has been restored, so that's all for this blog! I must write!!!
