Let Me Introduce Myself

I am AvrgBlkGrl and I write

[suninks-moved]

Do you have any suggestions for stimulating inspiration?

read read read read read re

watch tv (productively; take notes)

think: what could happen? what if..? what could go wrong if...?

watch/read the news

take a random word and make a story out of it

keep a dream log. use it as a prompt generator

re-read your old work, your old childhood favorite books. you’ll find things you didn’t see the last time

take a break every once and a while. stressing your brain will only make things harder for you. you may even find inspiration while your mind wanders

Writing to me is like finding your own music. There's always a new melody waiting to be added in a rising symphony.
