Behind every person is a story teller.
Some never take the time to dive into it, some realize they
don’t have the passion for it, others do it just to relieve the pain they feel.
It’s true when a writer tells you anyone can write. We don’t
specify what exactly it is you should write after all, that’s half the writing
process.
Now, I have no plans to write music, picture books, or
journal every day but others will find what fits their personality best.
However, that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the hard work that is endured to complete
the finished product.
Several us are inspired by music. What if there weren’t writers
who wrote those beautiful words, around? We’d lose that inspiration.
What if that first book we touched, read, and slept with
suddenly disappeared? Where would the idea have sparked for us to become
writers?
Recently I’ve come to also realize how much work goes into
writing a screenplay. It’s been a ton of fun to write but with each new scene I
prep and write the more I appreciate those who have made successful stories on
screen. After all, I wouldn’t get to enjoy half the movies I love today had it
not been for the writers to first be blessed with the idea.
What writing inspires you?

Well this morning you inspire me. ;D This is lovely and quite heartfelt. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Have a fantastic weekend, sweetie!
All writing inspires me to be honest, but particularly BEAUTIFUL writing. I recently read Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone (ARC of it) by KAt Rosenfield. THAT was inspiring.
So true Jen. I'm really impressed with screen writers. Because they have to write a whole movie in so few words. It's amazing.
Probably songwriting first.
Sounds generic, but I'm inspired by any and all writing that is good! As someone who's ventured into other types of writing besides novels, I've come to appreciate how challenging other forums can be. When I find a beautifully written song or poem, I really love and appreciate because I know first hand that I couldn't do that!
Screenplays have often inspired me to creativity. It's the way good screen-writers plan out their scenes. Focus the camera on relevant and touching elements of the film. Thank you, Hitchcock!
Having worked on a screenplay with a friend, I can certainly understand where you're coming from. As for inspiration, reading the words has been my biggest inspiration. Hearing them in song comes in a strong second.
Music ALWAYS inspires me. And movies. And TV. And pretty much anything beautiful--like this post. :)
Hi, Jen,
IT's been FOREVER! Now you wrote a screenplay? WOW, that's impressive.
As you know, many things inspire me, but it could be almost anything. Something as inconsequential as a massive sea bird strutting down the beach...
Yes, I did see one last week. It made me laugh on a ver trying day....
Hope all is well with you...
Jen, I'm always in awe of movie script writers. The amount of imagination to write the dialogue and set up scenes blows my mind.
