What is your inspiration?

Who/What/When/Where/Why inspires you?

I'll start:

Is inspired by thunderstorms. Too much caffeine in the system. Interesting/Emotional/Dramatic films. Ladybugs. Other writers. Clouds. The shapes of shadows.

I find myself majorly inspired by people. Without my characters, I can't write, and by the same token, it is often those around me who inspire me and set me to write. I am inspired too by other types of media like books, video games, and music. When I actually DO read, I find I cannot read a new book without being inspired to write one. Sometimes a sentence or an emotion or something more abstract might inspire me as well.

Oh, and weather. Whenever the seasons change, it inspires me. Always works.

For the most part I'm studying photography, but I've recently started a little drawing as well. I seem to be most inspired by the weather. The changes in weather effect my mood so what I photograph or draw depends on what the weather has been like. Life generally has to be really chaotic for me to feel inspired as well. When things are going too well I never seem to feel inspired.

Hmm, I've noticed this, too. Although it is nothing a little discipline can't overcome. I have always loved your photography! I browsed a couple of them on Facebook today. You should design some covers for Christine.

Again, I concur. Those season/weather changes make me crazy--and overly inspired...Is this you, Shay? Thanks for joining!
