Best inspiration
Anything. Sometimes I'll hear a song and want to work it into a story, or use it as a plot point, or something.
music, all the time... otherwise, yeah, random stuff...

I'm pretty random with mine. For example, we were studying the Holocaust, and I was thinking about modern day Jews that hate Christians as much as the Nazi's hated them. Which is part of the plot for my next story, but it's coming out like a chick-flick, which is annoying.

haha, i try not to let movies or other books inspire me, cuz then what i write comes out sounded already used, at least to me... sometimes, though, it works...
Oo! We should have a picture contest, where we take 1 picture and use it somehow in a short story.

Ellen Klages. It's about a group of kids living at Los Alamos, where they made the Atomic Bomb. [image error]
really, really good. Amazing. A new way of looking at the Bomb.
Music really inspires me. Sometimes the words, but mostly the music. Also nature inspired my newest story. I Love when I have inspiration it feels fabulous! You just feel like you NEED to get it on paper, and the sensation once you do is amazing! Does anyone else feel like that?
i don't get it much either.. a shame, huh?
because it says on my profile that i'm from dublin, probly... that is called wishful thinking. *sighz*
i'm from good old UT!i think on my facebook account, it says i'm from germany...
:)
I got 'there's a hole in the bucket' stuck in my head, and so I've figured out a way to work it into a story...
ookkkkkkkaaaaaaayyyyyyyI've read about a million and two books (and about 500 over two times :P) and I am often inspired by books, movies, history, mythology, and my own twisted brain....
Even when my inspiration is from books though, I don't think that it feels recycled because I mash everything together :) until it is an unrecognizable mess/masterpiece with tons of tiny tidbits coming from different pieces I've read with a big OLIVIA stamped right on top.
nice phrasing. No, seriously. I did. I'm just like that.
nice phrasing of what? you did what?? I'm feeling really out of the loop....
