General writing quotes inspire me immensely, and are so bountiful, that i figured for the last day of

hd_writers 30 days of tips and more, i would picspam you with a bunch. Starting with my own personal favourite, that i try to remember every time the writing gets hard...

( On with the picspam... )

I'd love to see more activity here at

hd_writers! I was thinking about trying to make one writing focused post, tip, link, article, (etc) each day in September! But then I thought how much more fun it would be if I opened the challenge up to everyone!

Is anyone interested in claiming one day this month to make a post pertaining to some kind of general HP or writing tips, encouragement, resources, apps, or anything else you think others would find interesting in their pursuit of writing!

It can literally be anything! It can be a source, a quote, a book review, something you find helpful, an image, a tumblr post! Anything at all that you find inspirational or helpful!

If you want to join in, please comment and tell me what day works for you! You can claim one day or more! Then just post your offering any time on the day of your choice!

MOOD MUSIC

Music is one of the best ways to get your muse going. You slip on your headphones, turn up the volume and your mind is soaring in a world inspired by the song unfolding in your ears. The words can tell a story. The melody the mood. The beat can set the pace.

And we make playlists to help with our scenes and characters. You don’t want to listen to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun when you are writing a emotional heart wrenching part, nor would Stay(by Hurts) would be helpful to write some friendly banter. And who wants sex set to You Don’t Own Me?

This time I have 2 ways for you to get points. You can only pick one way though

For 5 points - list 5 of your favorite songs that fit one of the moods below. You can pick what mood you want to do.

For 10 points - Make a fanmix and share using 8tracks or your favorite download program. You must choose a themed mood for your mix. All mixes must have 8 or more songs, and a cover art of some sort.

Accomplished	Alone	Annoyed	Ashamed	Awake	Bitchy	Bittersweet	Blah	Blissful	Bored	Bouncy
Calm	Cheerful	Cold	Confused	Content	Content	Cranky	Crazy	Crushed	Curious	Dark
Depressed	Devious	Dirty	Dorky	Drained	Drunk	Ecstatic	Energetic	Enraged	Enthralled	Envious
Exanimate	Excited	Exhausted	Flirty	Giddy	Gloomy	Grateful	Grumpy	Guilty	Hopefull	Hot
Impressed	Irate	Irritated	Jealous	Lonely	Loved	Melancholy	Mellow	Mischievous	Naughty	Optimistic
Peaceful	Pessimistic	Predatory	Rejected	Restless	Satisfied	Shocked	Surprised	Sympathetic	Touched

Happy Writing

HOW TO RECHARGE YOUR MUSE

Ever find yourself without inspiration? Feel like your muse left you without a forwarding address? What do you do to get your mojo back?

Not to long ago I had a case of the blahs. You know that feeling, you want to lay down, curl up, and practice on your sighing. Everyone was like, just write something, or let me give you ideas. But that was not the problem. I had ideas, but some times you just need a recharge.

So what can you do when your brain is on vacation?

1. Get out and move! - Be it enjoying your self, or people watching, sometimes your eyes need to see more than your computer screen. What better why to right about people, than seeing them in their habitat.

2. Read - either a good fanfiction, or crack open a book to a new world.

3. Watch TV - with me I call it mindless entertainment at this point, but I have gotten into 2 new fandoms this year by watching Netflix

4. Start a journal - I have a couple myself by now. Not just writing but for life too. Try to do one on prompt ideas also. I may never write a everything in there, and some might be shit. But it does help sometimes.

5. Try prompts - and I mean non fandom ones. Drabbles let you play with characters, or devolve your own. You should see how many I write more about.

What do you do when you find yourself sitting and watching the clouds go by?

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Photos, paintings, drawings. What ever type of art it is, visuals can help simulate your creativity. As fanfiction writers, we get it from our shows and movies. Watching our favorite actors or band members hanging out. Someones fanart or fanvid will get our gears grinding.

But it can happen from anywhere like -
( Click me.... )

So this week, I would like you to share some pictures that get your brain moving. Also look through the post, you might find your next story here.
