• What does Facepunch do for Inspiration?
    75 replies, posted
I know there's a lot of creative/weed-smoking people on facepunch, and I'm working on a few creative projects at the moment (prose writing, screenwriting and video-editing) for which I have hit a massive collective creativity cockblock (read: run out of ideas). I don't do any funky substances myself, so it seems like I'm at a pretty huge disadvantage here. What does Facepunch recommend?

I watch porn.
:shroom:
I usually stroke my dick, that helps.

look at a BUNCH of similar things (ie, if you're making a video go and browse the filmmaking channel of youtube)
I stay up until like 3 AM and listen to really wistful, magical music that makes me think of fairies and spirits and forests and shit.
Music. Also photographs of asylums and shit.
I murder someone, then spread their fleshy organs on a wall and then think about it.

Walk through the streets, observing the enviornment, buildings, people, and take in some inspirations. Just browse for ideas and work off them. Specifically through the city. Also look through DeviantArt.com at some pictures and work a story from it.
Look at other people's works and try to merge the two.
[QUOTE=Scyze;19613738]I stay up until like 3 AM and listen to really wistful, magical music that makes me think of fairies and spirits and forests and shit.[/QUOTE] I actually think more creatively if I'm sleep deprived too. So... Try not sleeping?
[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;19613766]Its only cool if you have sex with said organs.[/QUOTE] All of them? :ohdear: [editline]09:52PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeero;19613849]I actually think more creatively if I'm sleep deprived too. So... Try not sleeping?[/QUOTE] Also same here.
[QUOTE=Auster;19613886]All of them? :ohdear: [/QUOTE] Yes of course all of them, otherwise you're wasting perfectly good organs and being wasteful is a sin in the eyes of god.
Sleep deprivation, eh? Might try that.
ghettos
take a walk by yourself i always get ideas when i'm on my own just strolling around. bonus points if you're walking somewhere with nice scenery weed sometimes helps too, but personally being high doesn't make me more creative unless im already inspired. then it just enhances the inspiration
I will slam a playlist on and try not to think about it. Eventually an awesome piece of music will come on and spark something in my brain.
I listen to awesome creative music. Post-rock bands like Godspeed you! Black Emperor, film and TV musical scores, and ambient music gets my creative mind flowing.
Try an exercise. Lay out your own framework for creative work: That is, create your own universe, with your own races, technology, world(s) and political tensions, then go to work writing a story or drawing a picture depicting a certain action in said universe.
Turn on some music, close your eyes, and let yourself be absorbed by it. Should do.
Music combined with lying in bed.

Read books and watch movies!

Do salvia if it's legal where you live. Or just listen to music you've never listened to before.
Look at other works and see what I can take from them. Ideas that is.

Whenever I'm working on a project and can't think, I listen to music, or lie down for a while and let things pop into your head. It helps if you turn off anything that will distract you.
