Young Writers Society

Over these last few months almost all creativity has left me. from the very few that I do get, all my ideas are unfinished and sound horrid, and I just can't get myself to write.
Any way to revive the creativity cat in me?

Maybe it's a message. Take some time away from your writing. Relax and let your mind wander. In time something you can't get out of your head will come to you and you will be just fine. Yeah, so take some time for yourself.

First, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbC4gqZGPSY

Second: don't worry about being good or brilliant. Don't fret about sounding horrid. Don't worry about not writing. Worrying about it is pointless. But don't worry about not worrying either. If you're worrying, maybe considering why you're worrying. Pursue your thoughts. If you say, "But I'll never be any good at writing!" then ask yourself, "Why do you say that?" and so on and so forth.

Third: you're already bursting with things to say, so write one of those. And don't worry about it being good, or about people liking it, or about any of that. The best stories come from the heart. What do you have to tell us? What would you like to write?

Fourth: be bold and fierce if you like. As bold and fierce as you like. Or as quiet. Or as strange. Or as delightful. Or as cheerful. However you want to be, however you feel, that is the key.

Five: go take a notebook and go outside. And write down everything you see and smell and taste and hear and feel. Try to capture them as they are, as precisely as you can. Or look at the people around you, if you can get to a public space, and ask yourself it is that man chose to wear that hat to today. Really look at those people. Or go into a bathroom stall with grafitti, and ask who wrote that line, and what that person was feeling, what that person's story was. No matter if it's actually why or actually what or not.

Six: come back in. Turn out the lights, off the music, make things are quiet and dark as possible. Sit on the ground, and just sit there, and just sit there.

Seven: if none of these work at all, I have a challenge for you. It's spoilered.
