Girl Writers and Readers discussion

How were you inspired to write what you are currently writing?

Oddly enough, I was inspired to write the novel I am writing from a dream I had! I know, weird! :D

thats happened a few times to me too! I'll have a dream that I later base a story off of.

What inspired me to write what I'm currently doing right now, was really just driving home one day. I was looking at the cornfeilds and a story just grew from there.

i like drawing anime. so sometimes when i draw i just realize, that what im drawing will make an awesome story.

That so cool Fef! I wish I could draw well!

Same as you Anna. I had a dream and i thought it would make an awesome book if i tweaked a few things.

I wish I had dreams worth writing about. What was the dream?

I usually forget what inspired my stories. My current story was inspired by a picture or a song. I can't remember which. :P

Cool!!

For this story, what part of history? From where?

My dream was about how me and my family were in this community where this dictator guy sent everyone into a obstacle course and then, if you weren't out after half an hour, the obstacle course flooded and you were stuck. It was a really random dream!

That's really cool. It sounds Hunger Games-esque.

I agree!!

Thanks! I am working on it right now!

The French and Indian war. We were learning a..."

I remember I wrote a book inspired by relations between the French and the Indians (native to Canada) once too. It was a pretty interesting point in history.

That's an interesting combination!

That is pretty cool!

I had an epic dream that I'm thinking about turning into a short story.

I love it when I get a good dream and it can be turned into a story. I am working on doing one now!!

I was inspired by this movie " rise of the guardian ". Then i start reading fanfiction and to tell u this embarassed secret, jack frost was my main reason to write a story. Okay there i say it!. I'm working on my anime story and currently doing my discussion with my friends.

Cool!!!

I just come up with cool ideas and try to write stories around them usually. I write them flying by the seat of my pants and they usually end up mostly unwritten. I also get A LOT of inspiration from all the books I read. And the movies I watch. And the people I hang out with. And the scenery around me. And TV shows. And my creative writing class.

Awesome!!

I come up with my own dreams, imagination or sometimes from a real life friends or family story. I even get ideas from books. I know an author, like in real life.

REally cool!!

yeah! !!!

;)

I get ideas from real life experiences. But I usually make them a little more dramatic. lol
I also get ideas from music. Just listening to words in songs. It gets your imagination rolling!

I don't know. I see random things and my mind wanders and makes a plot for a story. I sat in the living room and stared at the coffee table once. In five minutes (no joke) I had a full story planned out.

That's really cool!

I know right.

Hi there!
I totally agree with the two of you, I often get my inspiration from daydreams too.

I do dream my story too! it's always happen when I keep day dreaming about my story (right after writes it) before when to bed and amazingly it's pop up in my dreams!

The best part it, is the plot.

Long ago I had a diary which to collect all about my dreams...but I stop doing it...

I think its awesome

Cool

Definitely!

Umm... Mine is pretty weird but I thought of an idea for a. Over while I was brushing my teeth. Modified my ideas I get while I'm in bed though. I have to keep a piece of paper and a pen blue tacked to the all so I can write it all down. It it can be a bit annoying sometimes. It Ai dot. Want to forget the ideas so yeah.

Still, that is cool!

I never really was inspired, I just have a wierd brain that likes to come up with stories. Honestly I have too many in my head to even think about writing them all down. So if anyone ever Needs Inspiration feel free to ask, I have loads of ideas I could give you.

I was inspired to write a story by everything going on with Planned Parenthood. I wanted to write something showing how evil abortion is.

Interesting. Did anything come from this. I am also against abortion, and have marched in the march for life twice.

Oh wow! That is awesome! I am currently working on a book inspired by that. :)

Interesting. Let me know if you ever get published I'd love to read it.

Thanks! Will do!

I think depending on the situation of the mother, then abortion might be right in some cases (like a rape or something)

Well, I think that this is very controversial! In my opinion (and this is just my opinion, not fact) abortion is wrong in every case. If you are pregnant out of that kind of situation (rape) and you don't want your baby, give it up for adoption, don't murder it.
