Crisis. How to get inspiration?

1. Read. Read stuff anda enjoy, read stuff that is challenging for you, read something anda normally wouldn't read, read stuff your Friends atau fellow peminat-peminat have written.

2. Critique the Penulisan you've read. As part of the criticism, think about how anda would have written it differently.

3. Write some non-fiction: write a movie review, poetry, instructions on how to use something, an interview with someone, atau even a transcript of an overheard conversation (VERY useful for modeling dialogue).

4. Buy a newspaper, take a story at random, and turn it into fiction.

5. Write a journal. This is actually the first thing I thought of when I read your question, because every writer should keep a journal. Then, when anda have a dearth of ideas, anda can flip open your journal and explore some of the ideas you've captured there.

6. Use one atau lebih of the Penulisan prompts telah diposkan here (in the Penulisan club, as part of the writer's group atau in the club links) atau elsewhere as a jumping-off point.

7. Write stream-of-consciousness: put your pen to paper, start with a sentence, and write as fast as anda can whatever comes into your head. Fill a page that way, then stop, take a break, and come back later to review what you've written. Often you'll find some good nuggets there.

I'd just think about my life. anda could try to look back at personal experiences, atau go out one hari and take special notice of the little things that anda always miss. Even the little things in life brings some ideas, like when I was in a train atau out watching football. I write Supernatural and Fantasi so I usually look at my life and take and turn memories out of it to fit in a story. Look at your Friends and family for inspiration on characters because there's bound to be some interesting ones in the mix! anda don't have to, but what I sometimes do is look up into the sky and try to picture imej in the clouds.
Also anda could borrow inspiration from tv shows, movies,books and transform it into something new and original. Sometimes I randomly flip through the dictionary and point randomly at a word and try to invision a sentence atau a plot around it.
Also I hari dream a lot and take inspiration from them and my dreams.

Well, that's what I do, hope it helps in any way!

mm to tell u the truth i just wait..sooner atau later i'll think of sth! yeah i had that too! i couldn't write a think for about one year! and then suddenly inspiration came and i wrote in three weeks a whole book of poems!!! but u can also write things bout subjects u like and inspire u even u don't really know wat to write... e.g. i usually write bout nature and peoples feelings and thoughts so i could just start Penulisan bout it wat would come to my mind! hari sejak hari u'll think of sth i'm sure!
hope i helped u a bit..:)
(ps do u like Penulisan stories atau poems?)

Look at Rawak pages in the dictionary.... when I see a weird word I start brainstorming.......

I get inspiration from life, my feelings and intreacting with people. I like to talk to people I wouldn't normal talk to. Other times I watch atau read something that makes me overcome with emotion. Oh and FYI if anda just broke up with someone stay away from the Cinta stories! It can be bad! I mean it even if it was a friend anda stopped talking to, the whole thing may back fire.
Happy writting:)

maybe anda should go back and read the things that anda wrote before and that may give anda inspiration
to write more...thats what works for me

Well is what I do: Take at least one jam for yourself, when nobody's at home, atau at night when everybody's sleeping, and try to think what anda feel inside. And puuf, there anda go. Hope I've been helpful.

anda know what? I'm a artist and an penulis at the same time. and I Cinta to go and look at wonderful and mysterious artwork. and with the strangest pieces I think of little stories behind it. I write it down. What I learned from a famous author, is that, the lebih anda write the better anda get. So that's what I do when I have writers block with my novels. I take a break, get my mind off of it, look at pictures and things just come to me.
I don't know if that helped. But that's just me.

I listen to music. I just hear a certain line of a song and a whole story comes into my head! atau I hear a song on the radio and listen to the story of the song and I get an idea from that. Hope anda find that helpful :)

Think about what anda like, like a tv sjow , than think about what would be a good episode atau what would happen if a new character was added, atau even change an episode a bit to another way in which anda like. Think, also about people,yourself, atau historic figures and think about what they lived through. In music, write about why anda think that the song was written, how it came to be, atau the meaning behind it.
For Rawak stories, think about your dreams and mix them a bit till they have a plot (I did that with my story "weird dream")or even grab the closest thing seterusnya to anda and even if it's just a Coke bottle anda can still write a story about it. I'm sure that even a Coke bottle has a story to tell. Or, do what i did, write an artikel about trying to write an article, when anda have all those thoughts traveling through your head and not being able to decide on which one to pick.
Haiwan are good for stories too. Even plants. Imagine what a bunga could be thinking, what its wishes are. what it does when no one is looking. Maybe it has been the witness of an interesting event. It all depends on looking beyond what normal people see. writters turn the impossible into reality in an even better way than anyone because it's inside the mind of people that they will see this so they will think, feel, hear, and smell things lebih vividly. Inspiration will hit anda if anda just look beyond.

something i find fun is this: for a character, i think of someone in my life (you don't have to like them) and write a fictional story about them. it doesn't have to be anything special, just enough to get your brain working.
i often look at the titles of buku and tv episodes to get inspired. for example: P.D. James' The Murder Room. just write what ever image comes first to your mind.
hope this helps!
