I just enjoy writing - the entire process inspires me. I know it sounds a tad corny, but I just love telling stories and entertaining people. That inspires me the most.
I also listen to music - mainly Nocturnes in E Flat Major. Chopin's music fits the mood in my brain perfectly.
If all else fails, red, red wine - Bob Marley can't be wrong, right? Right.

FINISH. Finish it, release it, take your lumps and grow. No one is perfect the first time through. Just finish. You'll learn so much by just doing rather than planning. As a wise man once said - a plan never survives contact with the enemy.

An Anthology collection of Lovecraft and Poe - been working on getting through them all, and so far, enjoying it very much. Love Metzengerstein by Poe and The Dreams in the Witch House by Lovecraft, so far.
