Bookworm Wrote:When writing, what influences keep your creativity flowing?
Also, do you have any particular poets/writers that inspire you, and why?
I'm easily distracted, so I don't focus on my writing as much as I should. I do find that once I get started, I can continue for a while. Walks in nature help clear my head, and while I'm wandering aimlessly, I'm letting my imagination think what it will, and that's where most of my ideas come from.
Writers that inspire me have been Annie Proulx and her short stories (she's best known as the author of Brokeback Mountain) and Stephen King. I'm currently reading his book 11/22/63 and really enjoying it.
