Writing Inspiration

I have read quite a few books lately, seeing as I have a lot of spare time on my hands nowadays. Each of these books have made me feel like I can relate to them in some way - the emotions that they portray of young adults, and the way their minds work, is really quite amazing. Seeing as this is swiftly becoming a very popular book, I though that I would mention 'The Fault In Our Stars' by John Green. I really liked the way in which the author did not make the story into a typical cancer story, it had a lot more depth and underlying messages than that. I am really looking forward to reading some more of John Green's work soon, I think that I am going to read 'Looking For Alaska' next! 

I have been considering writing something of my own for a long time but I think I need to put in a lot of ground work before I can achieve this. I did very well at English at school, but as I dropped out of college after a mere two months, I feel like I may need to do some writing courses and broaden my horizons before I can consider writing my own material (to a good enough standard.) I need to read more classic books to widen my vocabulary and so on. Also, I am lacking inspiration. I have no idea as of yet of what I would want to write about, but I am hoping this will come in time. All I know for now is that maybe I would like to pursue creative writing a little further...

Words

"I wish that I could inspire someone with words. I wish that I could make somebody smile, or laugh, or cry just by using my imagination. Authors, poets and songwriters possess the most amazing talents. They have the ability to make us emote, to bring all of our feelings to the surface. I love lyrics and how their meanings can be so thought provoking, with everybody interpreting them in completely different ways. Songs can hold many types of significance, triggering memories within our minds. Whether they take us back to a happy or sad moment in our lives, it’s incredible how real it feels. Like you have travelled back in time and in that moment, you are present once again. All of the feelings you experienced before come rushing back like a gigantic wave, a tsunami of emotion. No matter how many times you listen to the same song in your lifetime, the lyrics will hold a different meaning for you every time - depending on what is going on in your life. That is the beauty of words, they will forever be evolving. Words are beautiful, we should never forget that."
