Hmm... it's sort of tough to say. I find inspiration in a lot of places, but I find it difficult to be specific. I guess I'll walk away from a film with a semblance of admiration or wonder, and then build upon it in my own writing and in my own style. Like I watched Murder on the Orient Express, and then a sort of poem thing came into my mind when I saw the snow and I thought about the theme of the film, sort of All or Nothing-esque and yet finding a middle ground that one didn't imagine was even there (I got the impression at least)... then I thought about prejudice, which has always been a very important theme for me, and I sort of built upon that. An old fashioned sci fi was the result. It was hideous and short lived, but this is just an example of the process for me.
Humanity is always an inspiration for me. Always. I adore humankind with great intensity and I want to explore every emotion in literature, every ambition and craving, and then play upon it in a new way. I really enjoyed The Last Jedi because it was full of emotions, so I came away from that with a lot of inspiration.
I like sci fi a lot, mainly because it has so much potential. I'm not bound to anything and the theme can develop in all sorts of crazy ways. I'd like to dip my toes into the waters of fantasy a lot more, but it's such a fine balancing act between being cliche and laughable. I really like grunge for atmosphere, so I try and incorporate that as much as I can. A lot of inspiration on that one.
And I bloody love fighting. Especially between will-be friends, because its a foundation for respect and/or resentment. Physical or verbal, I just love it. And it kind of adds flavour, doesn't it?
I probably responded to this thread wrong. My brain is sozzled but WHATEVER. I'm still a genius of the first waters and people will realize it when I publish my masterpiece: Humility - Who Needs It?
