How did you inspire to write?

Hi everyone! In this time I want to know how did you inspire for write – the inspiration come for itself? Or you need sit down for hours hoping of it come to you?

In my case is a combination of both. Sometimes it come to me suddenly and other times I need sit down for HOURS until I get the idea that I needed. But the major part of time it come to me when I start to talk soliloquy with myself.

Gosh, A Fox, I was worried about 'felled an elder' until I realised you were talking about a tree and not a revered older member of your community.

For inspiration I've been enjoying grabbing a large dictionary, opening the pages at random, and stabbing with my finger to select a word at random. Collect 5 or 6 words this way, then brainstorm them. (I use Tony Buzan's 'Mind mapping' technique).

It's working really well for me. I'm finding it's not only inspiration, but is taking me well off my beaten track with story ideas that I never would have conjured up out of the blue.

For me, the easiest thing for the offending characters that flow gently like streams. It's emotional.

Sometimes my heart to get through eyes or ears to hear, will feel different, love, anger, shame, happiness and romance, including everything around me. The life of every person from birth until the end of the journey. passing through on my way to record all what my heart feels.

and also have dreams and aspirations, hope and passion. or other things I want but can not be done in this life I want to write to my heart and comforted their hearts.

I write my stories, of them, the kids, the elderly of the tragic circumstances, slew, the lips smiled mixing tears. Because I suffer when they cry and they laugh at me happy.

I write life for who , because they have extraordinary courage as they overcome all difficulties to reach success.

I write stories about the traditions and culture of Vietnam, my country has its own beauty difficult to compare.

You do not know me very difficult to express my inspiration because I do not write good English language, if the language of my country, it would be better.

And my sole purpose is love (love couples, fellow human beings, the parents , love for the country) in the story. Without love life does not make sense. And love is all doses balance.

Why, that's an interesting question. I just watch action movies or science fiction movies, for I really enjoy special efects. I also listen to different kinds of music.
