Inspired Writings

May 17th 2007 14:06
I have a strict no-no policy when it comes to listening to music, I dislike it for a variety of reasons (which I won't get into right now). However I did listen to a particular song by an Australian band (Redgum), the song was called "I was only 19". I listened to it fifty times over as I was writing a particularly long short story about the Vietnam war.

The story turned out great, at least in the opinion of everyone who read it. I'm sure to this day the song played a great part in the way I wrote everything out. It was looping in my head as I wrote everything out as such the emotions of the song ended up in my writing which was great.

I actually lost the story though, I had a backup but it was deleted, so tough luck.

So the question is: What do you use to inspire your writing?

Well, I guess I do a number of things, for inspiration.
One being music, sometimes I chill out and just watch tv and some idea, just pops in my head.
Most times I look at pictures, drawings, and paintings, out of magazines and stuff and some times it will inspire my writing.

How can you not love music?

I get things stuck in my head, and use them. These days I'm constantly inspired.
