What compells you to write? Inspiration. An article on TVTropes spawned "Sixty Four Squares of Black and White". A random thought spawned "Demonbound". In the story "Jack", Jack is a combination of Skulduggery Pleasant and another character in the same series, (coincidentally) named Springheeled Jack. The Cutters in "Jack" were actually based on the Circle agents from another story of mine, which were in turned based on the SWAT agents from the movie The Matrix. Lots of things are my inspiration.

Same Ever since I was a kid, I'd find little elements in other stories that I really liked, or tweaked them in certain ways in my head. And I'd always try to find stories with those certain elements in them, but it was always kind of hard to find just what I wanted. Then one day, I decided "screw it, I'll write it myself." In spite of having no natural talent for it, I've been writing since I was about seven, so it's an impossible habit to break. But not the worst thing I could be doing with my time, all things considered.
This is the same for me. As far back as I can remember, I wrote or drew things during recess instead of played kickball or whatever. But I've always been a bit of a loner anyway.

This is why we need NaNoWriMo support groups on this forum. I believe Mallory is on that. Anyways, I write because I love it and it makes me feel powerful. It offers a challenge but also allows me to be the master of a world where I can make anything happen. Cliche.
Sounds exciting. I write for the same reason, it comes second nature to me.

My blog is basically just a big creative writing session, but everyone who reads it seems to get a better understanding, and agree with my thought processes.

Even the nonsensical things, the stuff I find dreary and boring -- they have a place in my life and there is a reason for them when I'm creating something that is as much a part of me as my heart is. I'm compelled to write by the same thing that compels me to live; life itself is the best inspiration I have ever had.
