message 1: by T.O.L.I. (new)

T.O.L.I. (taleoflostink) so where do u get ur inspiration? For many of my stories it comes at thr most random times, like for one i thought of it while eating a banana on the beach


message 2: by Leiko (new)

Leiko Xantara (arrogant_protector) i get them from almost anything a book, a leaf, a song, a show, an animal, a bubble, a riddle, a game. The story I'm working on, I got inspiration from an annoying football comercial.

message 24: by Dani (new)

Dani (jack_mackenzie) | 4 comments I think I get inspiration from the weirdest places. Like an old photograph of my grandparents, or a map lying on my desk. Once it was from an old instant messaging conversation added to CSI.

Friends of mine often trigger something too, using a phrase or word I find intriguing, and I'll start to write on that.


But I guess it's different for a lot of people, even if we use the same types. People take things different ways, and therefore publish many wonderful story ideas in the forms of novels.


message 25: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ cool! :D


message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

I get my insoiration from books and songs, and from going of on random topics, like an explosion in the lunchroom, or getting kidnapped, OOOOOHHHHHHH! Inspiration moment!


message 27: by Leiko (new)

Leiko Xantara (arrogant_protector) that gives me an idea.


message 28: by T.O.L.I. (new)

T.O.L.I. (taleoflostink) I know inspiration is the weirdest thing!


message 29: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ indeed


message 30: by Leiko (new)

Leiko Xantara (arrogant_protector) very true


message 31: by T.O.L.I. (new)

T.O.L.I. (taleoflostink) yuppers!


message 32: by Sella (new)

Sella Malin i don't know how i get inspiration...story ideas just randomly come to me. like, i'll be sitting eating my lunch when all of a sudden i'm like, "OMG!! I JUST GOT AN IDEA!!" And my friends give me weird looks. XD


Kjersti but you can call me Captain Haha, i hear that Sella. Sometimes a story will just hit me. Like randomly slug me over the head with a mallet.

Then again, even my weirdest stories branch off of facets of my everyday life. The novel on my prof, Ink and Intelligence, was inspired by my bored, random rose design I drew up my arm while I was at camp. >< I try to use events from my own life (though they often become twisted and exceedingly distorted while I write ><)


message 34: by Shirley (new)

Shirley (discipleshirley) | 35 comments I get my inspiration from most any where, you young guys better watch out or you will have brain melt like I did before a ripe old age.


message 35: by Brigid ✩ (last edited Oct 16, 2008 05:11PM) (new)

Brigid ✩ haha. sella i know what u mean about random ideas ... :D

i got my idea for Reborn when I was drinking coffee alone in the kitchen.

I got my idea for Soul Stealer when I was waiting alone in the car while my dad was like picking up a pizza or something. XD

i don't remember where the rest of my ideas came from. lol.


message 36: by T.O.L.I. (new)

T.O.L.I. (taleoflostink) hmmmmmm so for white walls it came to me when I was listening to music..

i live in the dreams of other people was while on goodreads lol!

message 37: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (mashley310) I get inspiration from "imagination" games I used to play with my friends. I've come up with a whole background for one and now im going to write it out for my nanowrimo.
