What inspires me to write? How could a person narrow their inspiration down to one thing? I see a record from the 70's, I see an old hat, I see a small white house with a window smashed, I see a cup of tea sitting on my desk.by mixedtape 200 words, 1 comment, on Nov 13 2:44 PM 2008• Commented on by judge.

What inspires me to write.
Well I guess it started when i read Jurassic Park many years ago, I just loved Micheal Chrighton's way of describing things.
I do have a Very vivd imagination and have done since i was a kid, So I guess whenever an Idea pops into my head I think 'Yea that would make an interesting read' and just put it to paper. Sometimes a friend can say soemthing messing around and that gives me an idea or somthing on the TV or in a film, so I guess pretty much anything inspires me really.
