Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm an avid writer =) I find that when my mood is at its best, I am more willing to sit and just let loose the words!. Eat well, sleep well, think healthy thoughts! It has nothing to do with writing, I know!.!.!.But I found that how I feel deeply impacts my inspiration to get my best ideas on paper!.Www@QuestionHome@Com My inspiration to write came from life's experiences from boyhood, teens, a military career, a musical career, 20 years of motorcycling the nation, and other jobs I'd held!. Some of my stories originate from ideas held in religious and spiritual thought!. I first began to write personal stories, but grew tired of writing about me!. I then took my experiences of life and put them into novels, using different characters, different paths I didn't take, and developed the stories as I wrote them!. Above all, write about what you know!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Try doing some simple things like taking a walk!. Getting away from it, and the frustration of planning, and making it sound good can be good for you!. What i would do is maybe just take a small walk outside, or do something else you enjoy, and reflect on you experience!. You could also try reading someone else's writing to try to "copy" their style!. One last thing is see where others get their motivation, like other successful authors!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Honestly, when Im at a point in my own life when I'm not inspired to write, although I really want to, I read!.

You will most likely find inspiration in the most unlikely of places!. I have gotten inspiration from a really bad day when you come home and you can't do anything because you are so upset!.

If you don't want to work on the actual story, just put two of your characters in a dialogue situation!. It doesn't have to be part of the story or even effect how they act in story, but it gets the juices flowing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com first of all!. I'd talk to me more!. I can be very inspirational ya know!. Course you'd figure that out if you'd talk to me!. But I guess le sir toilet man does no such thing anymore!.
