Kim Crowley (kimcrow) | 1893 comments Before we used to have a lot of topics for different things that can be inspirational, but now we are compacting it all into one neat package.

So, lay it out like so-

Type: (book, music video, song, author, book cover, picture, pair of underwear, etc.)

Thing: (Name of thing, link to thing, picture of things or whatever you choose.)

Why: (Why this thing is inspirational to you. No, you don't have to do this one. It is optional.)

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments [there's no e in inspirational.]

Anyway. I'll post something inspiration-related later on, because there's a lot that influences me.

Woah! Compactness! I like it.


message 5: by Kim (new)

Kim Crowley (kimcrow) | 1893 comments I do too! It takes up a lot less room and still does exactly the same thing.

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments yesssss. Weheartit is pretty awesome. I use it for all my book covers.


message 10: by tesni (new)

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments type: book.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

Absolutely. Even though that's probably no surprise to those who know me well.

Mitch (i-am-not-real) | 1495 comments Type: Song

"This River Is Wild" by the Killers.

I don't know why, but I find these particular lyrics inspirational:

The circus and the crew
well they're just passing through
making sure that merry
still goes round

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments type: poem. Incision by Jillian Weise

The nape of my neck is a tell.
Otherwise you wouldn’t notice
with the layers of clothes: shirt,
vest, scarf, coat

Undressed, it’s a solitary hole
in the middle of a white wall, you
can’t help but stare, what picture
hung there, what of, what color?

It gets worse than this, you’ll
want to see how far down it goes.
The circular incision top and bottom,
a line contained by points

The seal of an envelope, opened.

You got that out of my drawer, didn't you? Because all of my underwear says "I'm cool."

Okay, not really. But it should.


Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives] (mariachhile) | 8772 comments Mod
That underwear actually looks fairly uncomfortable.


message 18: by Mitch (new)

Mitch (i-am-not-real) | 1495 comments It looks like underwear that only a woman could wear.

Ariel (cannibalcutie) Type: website

website: http://www.stumbleupon.com

why: it has all of the above; you can "stumble upon" art, poetry, writings, games, videos,... anything (it even has writing tips)! It's a big bundle of random inspiration. You just got to know how to channel all that inspiration into a story.

P.s. any kind of underwear with a seam down the middle of the crotch~area is uncomfortable...

I also hate my hair right now because it itches like crazy but I'm too lazy to go take a shower, dang it.

Stuff you wear under your clothes around your private areas. I'm not exactly sure why. But everyone does it. Unless you go commando.

Isaac | 8014 comments I'm bringing this topic back to life.

Type: Music

"Life and Death" from the show "Lost". Pathetic, I know, but bare with me here. It's beautiful. I actually wrote a fan fiction off of this song.

message 46: by tesni (new)

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments Type: Book

This Is All The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn by Aidan Chambers This is All by Aidan Chambers.

This book is like my bible. It's so inspiring and insightful and Aidan Chambers is exactly the kind of writer I want to be.


message 47: by Isaac (new)

Isaac | 8014 comments I LOVE MICHAEL TOO. :D

Have you ever heard Alan Silvestri?


message 48: by Isaac (new)

Isaac | 8014 comments 1. JOHN WILLIAMS FTW. YOU NEED ET AND JURASSIC PARK. RAWR.

2. I demanded my mother to go buy all the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks. XP

3. I haven't heard of Joe Hisaichi, but that was pretty.

4. OH MY GOODNESS, I LOVE "HOW TO TRAIN YOU DRAGON"'S SCORE.

5. I haven't really heard much of James Horner besides Avatar and Apollo 13.

Finally, I have found a film score buddy!
