I need inspiration!!! · 3:53am Mar 4th, 2014
I need help finding ways to get inspired to write more, if anyone could help I would extremely appreciate it. I also would like to know which of my stories people liked better (keeping in mind I want to completely redo The Banishment, seeing as it was an absolute atrocity) because I want to put more effort into the one people want to read more. If you could leave a comment with something to help with my lack of inspiration, I would much appreciate it, thanks...
here's a few tips
first follow a few people that might follow you back, even a slightly larger base of followers will get more watching you
join a ton of groups and add stories to groups once every few hours, this also goes a long way to show what you like and what you plan on writing about, and don't forget to do a few blogs as well
if you read for half an hour a day of your desired field in 7 years you'll become a master, this will help improve your style and common word usage as well as what's seen as acceptable and what's see as bad
get an editor and prereader, become friends with them and actually have fun doing it and learn from them so you can do their job, but are always able to rely on them, this way your grammar becomes better and you fix loop holes
and finally have fun! the best stories are the ones that people love to write, if you pour your emotion into what you're doing other people will feel that through your words and connect to your works
masters of writing will choose a select few emotions they wish to portray in a story and make it so the reader will feel those emotions intensely, this will actually cause your reader to feel something of a high causing them to want to feel that high again, even bad emotion can appear good if you present it correctly
let loose your everything, don't care what people will think and bash through what you find to be wrong or right and then go that extra mile, holding back only hurts the story
finish at least half of a story before actually posting it so you have content that you can post every day for at least a week(if it's that long)
long spew never help people
get evil and make it become justified
listen to piano and look at pictures for inspiration, picture no less than four scenes for every story and connect the dots in ways you wouldn't expect.

here, i don't suggest you use these images, but they should help spark something fun
