First, I would listen to music, watch movies, read books, or even go on long hikes to try and find inspiration. Second, I kept my phone on me at all times so I could audio record any ideas that popped in my head before I forgot them. Most of my ideas actually came at night when I was trying to sleep or when I was on long drives, so having my phone handy was very helpful.

This was also beneficial because it helped me realize that the writing process was not simply done in front of the computer. When I was listening to inspiring music to help get me out of writer's block, I may not have been typing on the keyboard, but I was still moving forward in the writing process. In fact, those moments were probably when most of the work was done. (less)

I also can't even count the amount of hours I spent listening to Bach, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky.

As a close second, my inspiration came from myth. I love Gilgamesh, the Odyssey, the Greek Plays, and even more modern myths, such as Tolkien's The Children of Húrin.(less)

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler
"I am not going to rate this book. While well written (Hilter was a brilliant spokesman, and that bleeds over into his writing) and a good way to understand how all of Germany and much of Europe was taken over by this militant idealogy, history itself" Read more of this review »
