day eleven ~ write about your best ways to get story inspiration

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well. For me, personally, I get my inspiration from:

     ❣ my dreams

     ❣ real life events

     ❣ books/magazines

     ❣ pictures

     ❣ songs

     ❣ dancing

Now, I know some of these don't make much sense to you, so I will try my best to explain them.

     ❣ my dreams

So basically, I have pretty awesome dreams sometimes. To the point where I can write a story about it. The dreams I have seem to always somehow relate to my life, present or future, and that's what I love about them.

Like today, I had a dream that me and my friends were at dancing, and then this one guy got cursed somehow, and he decided he wanted to kill me. So he cursed one of the girls and two other guys, to go after me and another friend. Let's just say that we got rid of the cursed 3 that were chasing us, so the guy that was set on killing me was the only one left. My friend disappeared somewhere, so it was just me and him, and I was cornered. Then I walked up to him and hugged him, and kissed his cheek, and just stood there for ages in tears, and it somehow broke the curse, and then I don't really remember the rest, I just remember two sentences which were said: "So what was the question?" (the guy) "The kiss was the question." (me), and I have no idea what that is really about. But, out of that dream, I could get enough inspiration and ideas to write a story.

     ❣ real life events/books/magazines/pictures/songs

Well, this one is pretty easy. By hearing/reading/seeing something interesting, I can get a basic idea in my head and then expand on it. I guess it's how most people get ideas from, so not gonna write much about it ~

     ❣ dancing

Ok, this is a weird one. I am a dancer, so dancing does give me ideas. Things like the music that we use, some of the steps, something that someone says, or just something funny or important to me that happens can get a story forming. I have a weird mind, and my imagination sometimes goes viral and decides to not let me sleep, because it had X amount of ideas.
