I had mine outlined, but I'm having trouble actually writing it. I might have to figure out a new one.

So, since I'm at a low point in writing right now rolling_eyes , I was wondering what you use as inspiration for your story?

I've never written Fantasy before, so this is definately a challenge for me, and I've been listening to a whole lot of "fantasy music". Myst Soundtracks, Guildwars Soundtracks, Dune/Children of Dune Soundtracks, that kind of stuff. It's beautiful music and I get a few ideas but it then it stops. plain

What do you do to get ideas flowing? Without trying to borrow from other books/movies/series/games?

Mine is actually a part of the backstory of a larger universe I've written stuff in before, but only a couple of the characters are the same.

I was finally able to get started yesterday with a couple scenes.

If you're looking for CDs, I think Robert Jordan put together a CD of the music he listened to to inspire him (though I'm blanking on the title, it was probably Wheel of Time Music or something).

I won't lie: Sometimes I do drink, enough to get a good buzz going. It allows me to concentrate on the writing (and create more interesting stuff) without all the distractions my mind would otherwise create.

How is everyone doing so far?


IMPORTANT - deadline changed from May 12 to 15.

Not because anyone asked for it, but because my last AP is the 13th and I want to make it easier on myself tongue

Thank you, Nat!

I haven't written anything yet except for a few scattered ideas in my mind, so the deadline change definitely makes things easier (doesn't change the fact that I have my English ISU essay due on May 16th, but whatever... I'll deal with the massive amount of writing I have to get done, somehow... tongue )
