Inspiration

Writing Assignment

    Creative Writing Sample: Where do you seek inspiration in your daily life? How can you apply that inspiration to your writing? Does your inspiration guide your writing style? Does your writing style block your inspiration?

Inspiration comes from my memories, my thoughts and my feelings. When I  wake up in the morning and after meditation, I usually have an inner dialog going on and sometimes I write about that. I’ll have an “Ah-Ha” moment, and think about the inner dialog. I’ll know how I want to write, but once I get to work, I have a difficult time putting it on paper.

Movies can give me inspiration too. If there is just one line in the movie that strikes a cord within me, I’ll write about that. My writing is usually about my journey through life and anything that.

I definitely feel that my writing style is guided by my inspiration, but at the same time, my inspiration can block my writing. What I have in my mind, never seems to translate onto the paper.
