Where do you get inspiration.

[tiefighter35]

I often times find myself in the "mood" to write a story or come up with a character, but when I sit down in front of my computer all of a sudden, my mind is just blank. How do you solve this issue?

History is my standard source of inspiration.

My source of inspiration is somewhat silly.
While I am enjoying various forms of media (Video games, movies etc)
I'm constantly going 'ok what if this was like that and that was like this'
Granted 90% of these are plot bunnies that never see the light of day. But Still.

Just start typing, even if the opening sentence it bad. When it starts to flow, go back and adjust.

I get through it with a phrase...Write it ugly.
