Sometimes, when we sit down to write there are factors like being tired, sleepy, worried, even hungry hahaha that can take away the creative side of you and things don't come out the way you wan it..I guess you don't put your heart and soul in it. What are the things that take away your creativity..inspiration?

I thought the topic was talk about inspiration? But the topic was things tht take away inspiration. Well, i guess my feeling. Especially when i'm hurt by someone, my inspiration has taken away and find hard to make any kind of composition. Especially when the one that hurt you is your inspiration. It's sad but true because it really happen in real life.

The same things you have mentioned. In addition, external distraction, irritability, scattered thoughts, depression and anxiety.

Well I think that hunger and the need to use the bathroom can take away from my inspiration. I've just gotten back into writing, but when I was younger and would
write, I would sometimes be hungry and / or need to go use the bathroom but
would not get up from where the computer because if I did, most likely someone
would take the computer. It aggravated me that no one would ask if I was done, or
atleast most the time they didn't. That was back when I was a teenager, now though
that I am starting to write again, I need only to share the computer with my husband
and most of the time he's in another room playing a video game.
I found that when I wrote before, tiredness would almost fuel me, and that I would
be the most creative and inspired, if not while being tired, then at early hours of
the morning.
I have a fictionpress account, and am just now starting to write again. I'm on Chapter
Five of a story, that is just developing. It's not the best but I am going to post it
anyway, and just use it as a Then and now kind of thing, where I can look back and see how my writing has developed, whether it had improved or not.
Sorry for blabbing, So you write, where?

Hello mady2791, everytime that i'm alone and feel sad. I just write a short composition of word like poem. I always do this kind of thing because I just simply want to express my self or emotion everytime that i'm alone. Most of my composition always take a about someone who love to be alone and a man who fall inlove with a girl. Well, when making a composition? The thing that inspire me simply my experience to any particular situation.
