Cool! What were those pieces inspired by? Is it allowed to mention non-LEGO book titles here?
I, for one, have a very small library. Living in Asia and liking reads that are english is apparently a very expensive tendency. (The books almost double their prices in here! I wish robots shipped the books, so we don't have to pay them! )
Ready Player One, Mind's Eye, The Giver, The Mazerunner and Shelter have inspired me in one way or another. Yup, just so long as they're approximately PG-13. No horror or anything.
You live in Asia? That's freaking awesome.
So, an action man, huh? I absolutely love Mazerunner and RPO! I'd buy the books, but, we've spiralled back to the expensive import books from America again
Actually, I've found a book called 'The Creativity Project'. It's filled with prompts and answers from kid's book's authors like Tracey Baptiste (Writer of Minecraft The Crash) and Lemony Snicket. I go to the bookstore regularly to cheapskate there and remember try out the prompts at home You should check it out! (Mods, this is totally bellow PG-13. )
Thanks What's the awesome part? Actually, specifically, I live in Indonesia, so you, being a pirate, may be jealous of me being surrounded by three seas Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
That's all completely awesome! I guess being in the process of writing multiple stories at once is a normal thing after all Is Legacies kind of like a whole universe you created? I have an idea: make a crossover of your dragon fantasy and your sci-fi book to make a DRAGON FANTA-SCI FI ultra writing!!!!
Oh, c'mon... What do you like to write about the most? :3
D'aw, thanks, again. Sometimes it's just long 'cause of the ramblings I make my characters do, though. If I'm writing about a set of best friends I'd make them do a series of jokes and stuff that's totally irrelevant to the story, but it just seems to go on forever
No, seriously. I love to write about sad stuff. Just, exploring the scene and how each character would react to every type of sadness. Yeah, I'd say I put them in misery way too much X3 You?
You're welcome, again. Ahh, that makes sense. Those are often fun segments, though.
Surely not. Ohh, goodness, you're one of the torture-writers. XD *I say that as if I'm not one myself* Yeesss, the most dramatic and emotional scenes for the characters are just too bricking awesome to write. I love the emotional scenes, too. As for a more general answer, fantasy and fiction.

X3 Yeah, they brickin are Sometimes I just spend days on end writing those. maybe it represents my dire need to exchange those jokes and stuffs with my best friends
Torture writers? Is that what it's called? I love it XD You too? Naiiiisss It's so fun! You get to imagine the small but heartbreaking things they do, like repeat their fallen friend's saying or hallucinate a certain special someone when they're at rock bottom. It'S ReAlly FuN Honestly, though, I won't believe if not one single writer here hasn't torture-written yet (Seriously? If you havem't, you're not living up to your writer potential ) Fantasy and fiction, eh? Nice :3 Okay then, what are your least favorite genres to write?
Yes, I'm working on the final book in what turned out to be a trilogy off of Boundless. I'm currently not allowing myself to write more than one thing at a time because every time I do more than one I don't finish any. You?
Nice! I need to finish reading those when I get a chance! That’s super cool! Yeah, I totally feel that. I’m the same way.
I’m currently working on a novel IRL, it’s going super well and I’m super happy. Hoping I can get it published.
Not too much, as I've been traveling a lot lately, but I've been working on my Ninjago fanfic "Roots of Earth" whenever I can--kind of a big task to carry around with me on the road, but a nice way to pass the time. What about you?
That’s pretty cool. Yeah, I agree, writing is a fun way to pass the time when traveling. That’s when I do most of my writing. I hardly ever write at home (though I’m trying to make it a habit). My creative brain tends to get pumping when I’m bored. I’ll have to give your story a read. Is it on the boards?
Me, I’ve been working on a novel IRL, been a project of mine since summer of last year. A lot of writing, then going back and editing, sometimes deleting entire chapters. It’s a long process, but it’s getting better and better. Like forging a sword. You just keep reheating it and pounding out the imperfections.
Well I have been writing a LOT lately. I've been trying to write a short fantasy novel, and I finally got over my writers' block I had for my Ninjago fan fiction Gravitation, so I've been writing that too.
Nice, that’s more than me! That’s cool, any details into what it’s about? Ah, writer’s block, my ancient nemesis. Killer of creative brains since...well...creative brains existed... Nice, overcoming writer’s block is always nice!
Hi writer peeps, tryin' to save this thread from dying here. I've written only Ninjago stuff on the old LMBs, and have written a bunch of random pieces in my lil' writer's notebook. Here's a smidge from 'A Changeling Changing' (cringe ):
"What's happening with your drawings? It's, well, weird," Lucresia judged her brother's painting over his shoulder. Caelum was painting a scene in a movie they watched earlier, though, in his own art form, he painted it as if it happened in his dream. {It was the scene where Luke kissed Leia's forehead in The Last Jedi } Lucresia didn't like it. It felt like betraying his old artwork, the ones with, at least, a cheery colour scheme. The ones he made when they were younger. With a loving look Caelum gazed at his twin sister, her hair a tint of blue, her eyes black, and her lips grey. Her different appearance from a few months ago (back then, her eyes were green, her hair a hazel mess) made Caelum understand why the sudden bitter attitude to his ongoing project. Changelings like the twins Lucresia and Caelum's biological appearance would alter, according to their maturity. Caelum knew that, for a fact, Lucresia hates growing up. And now, her appearance showed that she was. Caelum said, "I'm just changing, Luke.{He calls her that 'cause 'Lucresia' is pronounced Loo-Kres-ee-ya} Looks like you are too." Caelum then went back to his painting. At her brother's remark, Lucresia's hands danced on her face, looking at the mirror on Caelum's right. She touched her hair, eyebrows, lip, everything on her head, then turned to a picture Caelum kept beside the mirror. It was when they were younger, and Lucresia's appearance had a warm colour scheme. She sighed. "It's-it's not a change."
That one was inspired by one Adventure Time episode, where Jake the dog's brother Germaine had been painting abstract, rather than the realistic landscapes he did. What're y'all's random inspiration for stories?
This is very good! Nice job with the vivid description!
My inspirations come from varying places. People I meet, things I see, other stories, music, old stories I wrote, anything really.
All sorts of things, music, movies, books, video games, pictures, places I go, the list goes on and on. Music is a really big inspiration, especially lately.
Thanks and thanks!
Yeah, inspiration strikes everywhere, and when you least expect it, mostly. I actually think I've never gotten inspired by music at all in my life. Though there are some stories in my old notebook that had lyrics of songs in the sentences, and it makes me cringe hardcore
You're welcome!
I can relate, looking back at my old writing is really cringey.
