Inspiration
Its no secret that I like to write. Writing is great for the mind - well I think it is anyway - a good way to express yourself. I cant draw so art is out and I cant play any instrument so writing it is.My writing on here isnt great, maybe because I'm typing so quickly to get everything I want to say out. Seriously. I was looking back at some old posts and was cringing at all the spelling mistakes. And because I'm too lazy, I didnt even bother editing them. Anyway. As I type I have my notebook open and I'm trying to write - the only problem is I've hit a brick wall and it wont budge. I get this alot - writers block that is - and for any other writer you'll know how frustrating it is. Its okay if you've finished a chapter and all but I'm half way down a page and am completely stuck. Everything I'm writing is total crap so I'm distracting myself... isnt working so far. I have so many things that I'm thinking about I just cant find the words to write them all down. So I need inspiration. One way I go to find this is by watching movies or listening to music. Music helps a lot and I mean a lot. Reading books also helps, its interesting to see how other writers go about setting up their chapters and all. But as I'm typing nothing has availed to help me... maybe I'll just have to sit this one out and wait. Maybe another post later, maybe...
