Hiya!
- Alexa Mintah
- Alexandria, better known as Alex or Alexa, is a strange Christian-fangirl-YA-writer medley tucked away in an undisclosed location in Virginia. She loves creating worlds out of keystrokes, discovering adorable ships (platonic or romantic), and becoming besties with clever characters who wow her with love and brilliance. When only half spellbound by her many worlds of words, she can be found working amongst the stacks in her local library.

What makes me inspired...
ReplyDeleteMusic, mainly. Surprisingly, epic soundtrack music doesn't work. What works is usually bizarre or depressing songs.
Pictures. Urban scenery for sci-fi, people for historical or dramas, outfits for Steampunk or historical.
Sometime the strangest little things get me all excited to write. I just bought a cameo brooch from a craft store, and just looking at it makes me inspired. Maybe I'm just weird... But anyone else relate?

Interesting! For me, it depends on the mood I'm in. Sometimes, epic soundtracks work, and other times, depressing is more what I'm going for, lol.
DeleteOooh, yes!! 100% agree. Even if I'm not writing something in one of those genres, they're just some of those things that feel like there must be a story behind them. And (someday), I will write them.
Haha, totally! I think it's just part of being a writer, being inspired by the strangest little things for no reason that you can explain. :)
Thanks for commenting!
Yay! Thanks, Alexa! I also enjoyed Heather's 100 words post- because really sometimes that is about as many words as I can handle. :P Now I must go and read all the others on here... :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem! And yes, I know, so glad to see people who relate!
DeleteAwesome! Hope you enjoy them. :)
Aww, thank you for sharing my posts! I'm glad you enjoyed them. :) Heather's posts are great, and Lish's photography is unique and interesting. :) I haven't checked out most of the other posts, but I should.
ReplyDeleteAs for my favorite way to inspire creativity--it would definitely be drinking coffee. But rereading books also helps. *nods*
No problem! Thanks for posting them! :)
DeleteIKR! :D And yay, I hope you do! :)
Haha, those are brilliant ways to inspire creativity. ;)
Two posts by moi? Aw, merci! I appreciate it. :) I also highly enjoyed Bailey and Liz's posts, especially Liz's Memento Mori. That one was powerful.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, thanks for writing them! And yes, those were so good. Especially Memento Mori. There really are no words for that one.
