I'm interested in hearing from you what is writing for you. Why do you write? How do you write? About what? Where do you get your inspirations?
A bit about me. I mostly write short stories and poems. I started a few novels, however I'm working very slowly on these. I rarely share my works, and those that I do share are the ones I feel I need help with. I hope I will soon feel ready to share my better works with friends and with the community.
My poems tend to regard little, silly things. They are very short (5-10 lines usually) however I work very hard on make every word meaningful and emotional. Sometimes I go so far, what makes the poem almost unreadable, a known problem I'm working on.
My true love is short stories though. I write one about anything, and can write different stories on the same topic. They vary and change in style, language and topics. They can be a page and they can be ten. Some emotional some meaningless. They represent truly what writing is for me.
As for novels. Usually, unlike my other works, my novels are fantasy genre. I have three main works. I find myself spending most of the time on creating the world and settings over writing the story-line. I don't force myself to write the story-line and usually it comes naturally after I'm comfortable with what I created thus far. I even wrote a small "guide-book" to one of my novels, about 40 pages just about the world and my ideas for it. History, economy, politics and so on.
Inspiration comes from everything. Someone I see on the street, thoughts that go through my mind, pictures I see, conversations, articles I read, everything. All can trigger that little part in my brain that makes words flow. It makes me dream at classes and go home early to write and think. It makes me come up from bed and run to my computer typing few words. Writing is not a luxury for me. It is a job. I feel I must do it, or else, I'll go crazy.
That's me, now, your turn.
