Where do you find most of your creativity?

[Thicc AF]

It may be strange, but I get my creative buzz by viewing other pieces of work or watching a movie. Not necessarily taking ideas from them, but looking at different aspects of the movie or book and creating your own original idea from them. C: I always think of my original ideas while driving or sitting in class listening to a lecture that I couldnt care less about. whee

Like a few others have said, my way of finding creativity is either through lyrics in a song, a simple string of words, or even just me daydreaming and letting my imagination take me where it wishes to go.

Faking it.

randomly: your avatar. i'm kinda liking it.

to OP: it happens as i'm writing. writing is the magnifying glass that takes my diffuse thoughts and burns real ideas onto paper.

my brain. crazy stuff. i learn as i listen and think as i write. remembering is mentally constructing 3D mobiles in space. knowing all of this helps make me productive. smile

tab tab tab Every time I look at something, and I mean every time, I start to
tab tab tab daydreams about things that relate to whatever I'm looking at.

tab tab tab I could be looking at a toilet and then start to randomly daydream about a murder, a
tab tab tab secret found on a piece of paper, or something and then go on from there.

tab tab tab But I don't write them because the things I daydream about are weird, as you can tell.
tab tab tab ;u;

tab tab tab This is also why sometimes during my last class, which is Creative Writing, my teacher
tab tab tab likes to walk up to me and show me something and I'll just start staring at it because I'm
tab tab tab daydreaming scenes in my head. He'll, then, use them as writing prompts for the rest of
tab tab tab the class.

I sometimes like finding words I've never heard before, and making stuff up from them. For example, the word platitude. I'll make a phrase up. 'I don't believe in platitudes.' Then I make up a character that would believe that phrase. It's fun for me, and sometimes gets my creative juices flowing, even if I don't use the word. I like to keep a dictionary handy. biggrin

I just need to be able to sit somewhere alone to write out everything I'm thinking of -_- Harder than you think when you live on a college campus.

I usually get most of my creativity from horror movies, especially the blood and gore, it's very poetic to me, heavy metal I listen to, and sometimes images or my nightmares. Yeah, I love my nightmares very much, plus it helps me think of new ways to practice my dark and disturbing writing. So far it's successful but I do wish I can elaborate more on just the common grounds. *sighs* (._.)

[Persephone_xx]

At the moment, I get most of it from reading. I like playing with fairytales and myths a lot (:

I don't consider myself to be an organized person, but more and more I find that I do much better at drafting if I actually outline a couple of scenes in advance first ... granted they don't always do what I want them to do. But I usually figure out my actual execution doing that.

Ideas come from walking with music too. Motion is definitely a helper for me. Being cooped up for the winter and having less chances to get out is hard. Staring off into nothing while riding in a car apparently does it. Just ... having an opportunity to zone out and not being expected to do anything in that time appears to be key for me.

Usually I have something playing while I'm drafting, unless I need all of my concentration to get it right (I need my brains when I try to plan physical fights because it's not a natural thing for me at all).

I get inspiration from reading other works of poetry or short stories.
and music. I have a special playlist that has instrumental music, opera and orchestral tunes just to heighten that sense of creativity from the muse
(i dont believe in muses though)
cinema inspires me to write more raw, visceral poetry.
