![User Image](https://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f193/natnatbebe/icons/star.jpg) What are yours?
Post some things that have inspired you in the past, or the present. Whether it be a phrase, a picture, a feeling, or anything else. Maybe you can inspire someone else.
Currently, I'm working on a story inspired, but not directly related to, a quote from Macbeth. It's just the most beautiful thing I've read in a long time, though, it is about murder.
"...Stars, hide your fires, Let not light see my black and deep desires, The eye wink at the hand. Yet let that be, Which the eye fears when it is done to see."

Music, mostly.... some TV shows, games, other books, ect. I can see/read/hear something, and make an entire scenario around it...
I mean, I don't even REMEMBER how I got Drake Alexnader, the first time I really remember him coming out, was when I was always at my friends to play Soul Calibur 3... after that, I had a defined image for him, and a few others. It's just kinda evolved from there, to where my story is now... Reaper, Toku, Drake, Longshot ect.... kinda weird, but I take a lot of inspiration nowadays, from my own story xD How , I'll never know!

Names and Colors. Weird, perhaps, but it works. Names: I think of a name. I fit a personality to that name, and I work the story around the character's attitude, looks, and/or moods. Colors: colors symbolize mood. The calm blue sky makes me think of summer, gets me thinking about the setting of a story. The angry red of blood makes me think of jealousy, anger, cruelty, makes me think of the antagonist. Such things are minor details, but it's the little things that make the big picture possible.

I think my first novel (still in its planning stages right now) is influenced by everything that has every happened to me, and everything I've ever read or seen. Everything changes us in some small way, and lately I've been reading into Buddhism and books like Ishmael from Daniel Quinn. I think those ideas are going to come through, whether I try to make them do so or not.
Music helps, too, since I usually listen to some while I think or work on my ideas. Lyrics and moods from Tool songs make me want to write about them, like Third Eye, Pushit, Right in Two, 10,000 Days, and Lateralus.

Music does inspire me, but usually not the kind with lyrics. Stuff by E.S. Pothsumus, X-ray dog, and one of my faveroutes, "Come with me" by Puff Daddy and Jimmy Page. I love epic music; it usually creates a story for me. Another thing that inspires me is, strangly, weather. I absaloutley love the fall, and at one point last year, the lighting was gorgeous and is smelt so good. I was riding through a trail and the story ideas would not stop coming. Usually it would just be a scene with this kind of setting. Names inspire me to create certain characters. I love rare names, such as Phoenix, Raine, Lance, etc. My inspiration for the book I'm currently writing was a nickname given to a certain breed of pony, the Camargue. Their nickname is now the title of the book (no its not a fantasy), even though the book isn't entirly on them. However, they do play a big part in it. Little sayings are goo inspiration too. I saw a poster in a store one day that said "Field of Dreams" on it. That got me thinking 'What exactley would this be, how would one get to it, what could this mean, etc...'
