no_takebacksHi I am ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angelicalangie , also known as Angel and this week I am driving the DPP bus. Please strap yourselves in and enjoy the on board entertainment!
Our theme for the week is “Feed the Muse” a lot of us write, vid, create art and even just daydream about the possibilities of life on the Battlestar Galactica. But what inspires us to create, what “feeds” our collective muses, what gives us the impetus to pursue an idea from its inception?
That is what I aim, with a little help from you guys, to explore and hopefully have a place to return to in the future. On my twitter feed I have seen a few writers - from various fandoms express the same problem of writers block - and so my general idea is to have a place to go to, a repository of inspiration, so-to-speak, to generate ideas and break the writers block.
Today we are going to explore;
Fiction.
This doesn't just have to be limited to the Battlestar Fandom, this can be; books, poetry, fics, anything written. Essentially, anything that is fictional.

Date: 2011-02-01 04:20 pm (UTC)I kind of don't believe in writer's block. It's not that I never feel like the words aren't coming, but that it's all in my head. There's nothing blocking me except for myself (it's all very Black Swan). When I feel like I have "writer's block," I acknowledge that I am just making excuses for my own laziness. The only "cure," in my experience, is just to get off my ass and write something. Doesn't matter if it's mediocre, or if it's not what I was planning to write. Just write something and keep writing. I can't just sit around and wait for inspiration to strike, tempting though that may be.
