Music works for me. As I type and write, earphones plugged to my ears, music on low key... I type away... I like a serene environment too. No noise of any kind, fresh cool breeze coming from the window, full stomach... I cant write with an empty stomach. I will be distracted... seated on the bed or a comfortable chair, thoughts in sync with my fingers and I speed away... I get most of my inspiration from my immediate environment, past and present experiences, the lifestyle of family, friends, neighbors and strangers ... I read too and watch a lot of romantic movies, plus action thriller series films... And I must not forget my special mug of hot lipton tea, creamed with milk... plenty milk and sweetened with sugar. *winks* 1 Like 2 Shares |

EvaJael:I just saw this. Nairaland mentions be balling like courier messages. To the topic at ground, what can I say? I'm clueless as to what motivates me. As far as I'm concerned, nothing seems to excite me anymore in writing. I'm wary to let others know what I've been battling but I hope you all will understand. Somehow, I've been seeing my funeral for a while now but I have always believed in myself. 3 Likes |

Missnande: The thing is not easy. After I know i've gotten to a point that I see the twists are enough, i'll just write a mumu ending. Then as I begin to edit the drafts I'll build a better ending, and probably add another story. I was telling Evajael the other day. My story 'Grabbing The Hot Gate' was around 18k works when I finished the draft, but when I finished the third editing, I got to 50k+ words. So, all in all, the draft is your idea. Editing is the story writing. 3 Likes |

Debbietiyan:Well..... weed is not bad but after sometime you may become dependent and attached to it ( not addictive tho). Smoking weed shrinks the brain, thats the worst downside of it that I know of sha..... and when the brain shrinks you know what may happen..... Visiting new places and seeing new faces can inspire anybody I think |

OluwabuqqyYOLO:As in eh. I don't see most of my mentions. Well, to me, you're going through a phase and you'll get over it no matter how long it takes. Have you tried settling down to carefully read your works all over again? You're just too talented and I reject that funeral you're seeing for you. It can never happen o in this life. |

Divepen1:Yeah and the work is beautiful. Ending a story is not beans at all. Especially when you have a really wide plot and no plans for a sequel. You just have to weave all the loose ends together. 2 Likes |

Debbietiyan:Lol! Interesting. Personally, if I dare writing when I'm excited, I'll unconsciously add terrible twists that take days to unravel. So, if I take weed, ah! That's the end of the story na |
Re: 2017-2018 Chatbox by EvaJael(f): 8:57am On Dec 16, 2017 |
OluwabuqqyYOLO:Yeah. Don't sweat it. Relax yourself all you can and I believe it'll start coming back to you. Don't give up. If it doesn't still come back at the end, don't drop to the depths of depression. Lift your head up high. The ones you've written already have carved your name in the hearts of many. |
Re: 2017-2018 Chatbox by kayo80(m): 9:06am On Dec 16, 2017 |
OluwabuqqyYOLO: I totally understand you. The bitter truth is creativity (especially that of creative writers) is accompanied with some form of mental illness. The gift and the curse. I guess it is cos we don't have filters like most people... We let a lot in to fuel our creativity. And maybe also because we create a whole new world in our heads with different characters...different people with different personalities. I noticed that in times when I use up a lot of my creative juices (when I write continuously for a long time), I get really depressed. I didn't understand all these till I started studying the lives of great writers. It is what it is. You just have to learn to handle it...dance around it. My way around this is too watch a lot of romance comedy, action comedy or any form of artistic expression that makes me laugh even when I don't want to. Find a way to deal with your down times... There is always a way. You are too gifted and too talented to give up on your life. I see great things in your life in the very near future. |
