@jjcrews hi, so sorry for the late reply! thank you so much and i usually get inspiration from playing games that are heavy on the character's feelings, talking with friends, from my dreams, or just looking at ordinary objects (like a tv, running water from a tap, potted plants) and associate those with feelings or scenarios. (with me, tv => obsessiveness to keep watching a show/movie => escape from reality, kind of depressing). surprisingly, i can't get inspiration from listening to other songs or from my feelings no matter how hard i try lol. for writer's block, i usually try to clear my mind by doing anything that relaxes me because it hits me the most when i'm stressed out. so i usually write at night where i am the most mellow lol. i hope this helps, sorry for talking so much and thanks for asking! good luck writing!
