Hi, everybody! Creative activity is impossible to imagine without inspiration (enlightenment).The inspiration or a muse is a puzzle in the person. It is interesting when the inspiration comes to you? I am sure that at all of us this process happens variously.For example, I am filled with ideas after talking with people, during travel, looking at the picturesque nature. And, of course, love and suffering – it’s one of the strongest incentives for creativity. Who or what inspires you?

Practically anything inspires me...

Cool hint: When you 're stuck with a project and you need that extra kick.... Talk to a kid, preferably one that hasn't started school yet. Play, laugh and listen carefully. They work magic.

That's a great thought, Ioanna. I love small children because they're not confined by pre-conceived notions yet. I wish my grandchildren lived a bit closer.

Excellent advice Ioanna! And an excellent post PetR! And an excellent Kitharis just being excellent! Excellent! What inspires me, hmm... I get inspired by the soundtracks in movies a lot, I hear a great soundtrack and usually feel inspired. I should just say great music really is inspiring... But also the good nature of peoples deeds is also very inspiring, when someone helps the helpless and things like that... Super Heroes! Not meaning like comic book Super Heroes, I mean real life Super Heroes, when someone goes out of their way beyond their capabilities and saves a life, and so on. These kinds of people are always inspiring.

I too get inspired a lot by "suffering" and sadness, don't know why. But that's what sparks most emotions which fuels my creativity. I'm though NOT a sad person at all, but perhaps that's why it works for me. Oh, and that goes for music, not other creative tasks such as my job and stuff

I agree with you! yes, children are capable "to infect" with the breeziness, fun and lack of adult problems)

But if I need melancholic and romantic mood, I look for in myself sadness and tears)

Soundtracks and movies really awake in us a soul string) Interestingly, and what inspires these people who do these soundtracks and movies?)Unfortunately not all can be superheroes. And if all are superheroes, there will be nobody to rescue

Yes, these ways of an inspiration are familiar to me) the suffering and reflections is strong emotions for creativity. I don't like to be in the rain, but I like to watch a rain, in autumn, when on streets and in parks a sadly and lonely)

Hahah

what inspires me...Hmmmm let me think..... The thing that inspires me most is seeing other people do things that i wish i could do myself. It just gives you that determination because you've seen the outcome, not you just have that incredible hunger to do it yourself. That's probably what inspires me the most.

now not not. My bad, typo.

I can relate to this.

Monty Oum. He was a great man, with Red vs Blue and RWBY being fine examples of how you write a serious script and still make jokes. May he rest in peace.
