Inspiration

<< < (2/2)

Quantus:
Other...input, really.  Not music, or art so often, but other books, tv, film etc.  Often it will be something familiar, like a movie I've seen a million times playing in the background.  Sometimes Ill get good ideas spun of like science news or a wikipedia walkabout or something.  Its kinda random, really...

LizW65:
For me, it's usually a character name or a title.  One will pop unbidden into my mind seemingly from nowhere, and I will begin to build a story around it.

Snowleopard:
I know a script writer and she saves small news articles and blurbs from things like the newspapers.
The whole world is one big inspiration when you get down to it - it's whatever frequencies your brain is tuned into (music, color, art, news, nature, etc.) that work for you.
