The lost element of inspiration is totally NOT me! · 5:59am Aug 3rd, 2016
If you haven't heard, Rarity's original element of harmony was supposed to be The Element of Inspiration, but they figured that'd be to hard for little kids to understand, so they went with generosity. Why am I writing this? Because I neeeeeeeed inspiration!!!!! All my stories seem so bad right now, I've created so many stories and there all terrible! This is not my opinion they are literally awful. I'm out of ideas, I might browse some pics on DA or something, I might ask for some ideas, I don't know right now. I just need to write a story, that's all I'm asking for!! Please! Please let me write a story!!!!
I usually read other fics, or watch my favourite movies, and look for subtle inspirations in those.
(AKA: not plagiarizing their work, just taking inspiration from them)
I know what it's like to not have proper inspiration for a looong time, so this is about all I can offer as far as advice goes.
Also: If you want, I might be able to take a look at your works sometime, and give you a few pointers? It's the least I could do for someone who's helped encourage me so much!
4129241 Okay I might try that, and most of my stuff is pretty bad, I'm not sure pointers would even work, not trying to be rude, just saying my works cannot be saved.

I know the feeling. I've had to kill a few works myself, just because I didn't know how to do them.
I would advise at least saving the basic idea somewhere, though: you could run across some inspiration for them at any random moment.
4129282 yeah, I've kept all the ideas, just not nesacarily the story, I didn't really like the way they were going.

Can relate.
