Topic: Fending off the writers block
I clean (I know, totally weird) or i listen to music or I take a shower.

Personally, i am obsessed with MUSE. They are my muse; really, my inspiration is always spawned from their lyrics. What inspires you? Cleaning? The laundry, dishes, sweeping? Music? What genre, band?

We've all got different methods to acheive the same end. ^_^

Music always help , I usually listen to certain songs for certain stories . Like Evil by Interpol & Every things alright by Motion City Soundtrack are two songs that always help me fend off the nasty writers block for a certain story of mine . And when music doesn't help , no does walking away from the story for a few days , I discuss it with someone hoping they can help me find the flaw that I myself could not find . The later helps out A LOT .

Ooo!!! And I talk to people! Nothing like it to get the creativeness flowing! I have this freind and I recently discovered that whenever I talk to him, I get fantastic ideas ^_^ It's awsome!

Indeed , my father is my metaphorical wall to bounce my idea's off of he helps out alot with most of my stories . I also use my brother and sister but they aren't as good as my father for bouncing ideas off of . Though I do use my sister out as a tester ( I use ehr to read my stories and to tell me if they are any good and if she would read them .) So ,yah , if I ever get the nasty case of writers block I always go talk to my father and sister . And when that does not even work I just shove the story on a back burner and start to work on another story that has been jiggling around ni my head for some time .

Sometimes, I just get too serious about my writing and so nothing flows anymore. So, that's when I resort to . . . my SCRIBBLING NOTEBOOK!!! ^_^ Or so I call it. What I do in there is just write and write and write with my story's basic outline, but not all the specifics *_* I just make the story's world revolve. It's SOOO refreshing sometimes ^_^

Ya know what, Muse isn't my muse anymore. Now when I listen to their music it's just like "Ah, cool . . ." lol, I think I just wore them out for myself. Now I listen to like a new band every day; I freakin LOVE music! And yeah, it's been what's inspiring my stories mostly, but I haven't been feeling writers block exactly, because I can always write, but I just don't FEEL like writing sometimes, so the music is good for getting things planned out, and then being able to write whenever I get the urge.

Yeah, music is an ispiration to my work too. My one story is inspired from the theme song from a video game, it's weird but it's true.

Hmm, my dad likes to listen to a CD of music from one of our x-box games. He calls it theme music; it actually gets anoyying after a while, but if he doesn't overdo it it can be fun and inspiring if I'm feeling like writing.
