Writing, for me, is very inspiration-dependent. And inspiration can be a jerk.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The inspiration to write? Perhaps it's not so much inspiration, as a NEED to write. I get itchy and guilty and dissatisfied when I haven't written for a while. Ideas come to me and need to be written down.
For me, inspiration isn't a sort of spark which lights the fire of the story. It's more like a thread, one of many, which you can tease out of a story once it's written, if you feel so inclined.
You know, sometimes I get moments of inspiration when I'm writing something and then the task seems so daunting that it just kind of scares me away.
The writing part of my life never changes, because that's just when the inspiration comes.
I'm a writer who likes to be influenced.
I don't actually have a one wellspring of inspiration. Though I'm most often inspired while reading - both fiction and nonfiction.
The thing about inspiration is that it takes your mind off everything else.
Other writers definitely influence my writing. What encourages me and inspires me is when I read a good book. It makes me want to be a better writer.
I'm always inspired to write, and it's usually my own life experiences that inspire me.
I write all the time, whether I feel like it or not. I never get inspired unless I'm already writing.
