User blog:Spookyboo/What Gives You Inspiration for a Topic?

Sometimes I find that inspiration is hard to come by when just sitting around waiting for it to happen. I have kind of trained myself to think in a "what if" mode in a darker way so that I can visualize something bad happening in a situation. I do like to keep that separate from personal life because it isn't very good for the psyche to think bad all of the time. With that said, sometimes it is inevitable. I find myself asking questions like "What if that car had flipped over and landed in the water and there was a giant isopod what took over the person's tongue and somehow kept the person alive until their minds melded." Just crazy little ideas like that. Some blossom into stories and some I laugh about thinking it will never happen.

Some may even wonder why I like to blog on here so much lately. I have never indulged in a writer's group as I have always been kind of the outsider. I feel like I've been reading enough of the stories that I'd like to learn more about the people I am reading for. It seems so impersonal to just take your work and run with it without knowing much about you.

In the future i think I'd like to do podcast interviews with those willing to give them. From a legal standpoint, I think you must be 18 to participate so if you're not please give it a few years and if you're still writing I'll come back around to you. Please let me know your thoughts on this or about anything on the rest of this post. Thanks!
