Inspiration?

What inspires you to write if anything?

Good question. I find inspiration in everything I see and do. I know this is putting it simply, but when your inspirational net is cast wide one catches ideas everywhere.
I guess it's like widening a view of the world from black and white to colour.

Maybe this question could include:
What tips are there for someone experiencing writers block?

I have to agree with Michael. I see inspiration in anything really but my main kind of inspiration is past events and things that are going on in my little brain lol most of the stuff I right is pretty much my reality but then others are fiction etc.

As for your question Michael "What tips are there for someone experiencing writers block?" I believe this is a good one and will help many people too. I had a long haul in writers block until recently when I started writing again and my first inspiration was just the budding flowers of spring. I feel nature is a massive inspiration to those going through writers block.. Just get out there, sit somewhere quiet or maybe not and write all you see or hear and there you can have a really good piece and it doesn't have to rhyme either. :)

Good luck all.

Try writing in forms - short ones seem easier; less words I suppose!? It doesn't matter if the form is correct at first, as long as you are writing. Acrostics are good too - write about anything at all - like an:

A
P
P
L
E

^^
Yeah simple acrostic forms lol... I'm not going to do one of those in awhile haha

Life mostly, usually the injustices or the dark side, sadness, oppression are the things that usually motivate me the most.

Women, Music, Beauty, Love. Pleasure, & Greatness (Reaching It, The Pursuit Thereof).

When something Out There resonates with something In Here

Another good one is people watching.. Some of us figured people watching along with writing their life stories for them makes for some great poetry. :)

I love all these answers, i agree acroustics are fun to write and they really do help.

Writers block is awful of course, I'm sure we've all experience d it at least once. I think if you try to force your writing you will end up hating it, i like to let words flow and edit later ^^

Daily life situations, society, politics, books, art and music.

I think the best thing to deal with writer's block is writing about it.

Nice comment Larry - you have to write what you feel. Feelings tend to spark from external stimuli.

Love my love!!!
