For all you poets/(song)writers!

[Marizka]

So im a curious person, and i like to hear other peoples experiences and opinions, and as far as i know there's no topic like this yet, so here it goes: I just have some questions about writing.

When did you start writing? And who or what inspired you to write?

When do you write? all of the time, when you get an idea, when you feel emotional?

What do you write? poems, songs, storys?

Dyou ever feel like your repeating yourself? using the same words, characters, subjects?

A lot of questions, I know but as i said im a curious person

 

[Friðbjörn]

I write. I write poems, song lyrics, rap, name it.

I write when I'm inspired, and sometimes words just come to my mind without me even thinking. Sometimes I also have phases where I write loads of stuff, and in those phases I write just because I can. Sometimes the words tend to be a little bit forced though.

I write when I feel down, too. And sometimes I just write, no reason.

I use a lot of subjects, but still, I often write about the same things.

Hope that answers some of your question.

EDIT:

I started writing when I was 13, forgot to mention that.

I write.

I starting writing the time I started to like LP and well LP and O saw reading some stuff that inspired me to write.

I write mostly when I´m down or when I´m really happy and that´s the time I just get ideas uase well I write down my emotions.

I write poems and stories.

All of my poems are about the samw subject yet in different words so yeah I feel like that.

Curios is good!lol I´m curiuos too

i love writing... ok...

-i started writing.. like um... when i was in 6th grade... which was about 3-4 years ago....

-um.. nothing really inspired me...it just i guess came natural... but you know my feelings and expierences help out with it and i have the ability to put myself in other people shoes and write about what they feel.. which works out so its spiffy

-i write all the time... basically if i just start thinking.. and start with maybe a rhyme or two.. it just starts flowing out of me... or like if i get an idea.. i just instantly start writing.. so yea... um basically all the **** time...

- you name it.. i write it.. poems, songs, raps, stories, t-shirts and ****... everything

-once in awhile... i may repeat something.. but not much... like if its just flowing out of me and then suddenly i get like writers block...i'll start thinking back to other things i'v written and go from there..

you name it i can write it. my dad says that its because i have an overactive imagination when it comes to ideas, but most of the stories I write are based on things that could happen to anyone. with the exception of my more supernatural stories. I started writing when my mom died and my dad sent my twin brother away to military school. I just wrote down how I felt. almost every single character has a little bit of my friends family or just about anyone I know in them. I do feel that I'm using the same characters over and over again, especailly when I write Band Fan fics. but alot of my writing was based on the problems I had and the things I go through as the middle of five kids and being bullied because I'm half deaf. its just another way for me to release my feelings.

well...I've been writing...for a long time...I've always felt an attraction towards words and I love learning new ones...

I like writing poetry when i need to get soemthing off my chest.

I like writing stories too. I have ALOOOOOT og ideas and images flashing through my head! I just have to makes them form something mentally plapable...and maybe write a *completed* story.. I can never complete them.... Plus, I never have time naymore! *pout*...maybe this summer...

I'm really passionate about writing... so I'll try to answer your questions...

I literally started writing when I was about seven I suppose. I don't really know what first inspired me, but nowadays practically anything inspires me. Anything I see and hear can trigger an idea.

I write a lot of the time. I only usually write poems and songs when I feel emotional.

I write mostly stories, but I also do poems and songs. I absolutely love writing lyrics. It's one of the funnest things I do.

I don't ever really feel repetitive, no... if I repeat something, it's because I feel strongly about it and I want to write about it. If it feels repetitive to me as an author, I just won't put it down.

Sup, the name's Rockslide and I am a poet. I started writing when i was 15 and now I am 17 and have had 3 different publishers want to publish my work. I, however, feel that my writing could be better than it is. If you need any help on writing then i will lend you a hand.
