Inspiration

[Phantonym]

I need some inspiration... I wanna start writing but I can't get past the writers block.

Clawing at the laughing sounds, they couldn't speak; the whispers stole their breath. Clamoring like discordant bells drowning the screams of dead saints, the jeering Damned crawled into their ears. You want to do this! you need too! Just a little to make it stop...

*edit I felt the need to clarify this is a random writing prompt off the top of my head. If you need something else, try looking up obscure history, and learn something interesting. That helps me sometimes.

Very edgy without context, but I could see this working. Potentially.

Apocalypsis?

That's not the whole description just a teaser, the hook

Glad I could help. It looks like you found something for now.

The world burned, the god laughed, and the god was punished.

Malroth, the God of War, wreaks havoc on the continent of Avon and causes many innocent people to die, Malroth has no remorse and sees people as puny ants or toys to be played with and broken. The other gods agree that Malroth has gone too far and must be stopped and punished. Once the other gods agree they band together and seal the gods power causing him to be sent down to the continent he wreaked havoc on as a weak neko slave girl to experience what its like to be a puny, insignificant toy.

The full description.

Honestly, I am probably the wrong person to ask, as my tastes don't seem to fit the common mould on SH. For example, I would probably read your work in your description up till the Neko slave-girl part. I don't particularly care for a lot of the types of tags that might seem to lead to. Now that sort of thing seems popular on the site itself, so you're probably golden. I'm not one to criticize the tastes of others at all. For me specifically though, it doesn't hold my interest.
The first part though, I might consider it interesting to explore how an all-powerful being brought low might change as a character,and what those alterations might mean to the surrounding mortals when what was War, changes their behaviors.

Yeah I feel like thar was pushing it for me as well. I would prefer to not go that route but I didn't know if any one would read it
Honestly I don't feel comfortable writing that kind of thing anyways
Imma rework the description cause honestly I felt kinda dirty writing the old one
I felt like doing confessions and I'm not even catholic!

The new description:

The world burned, the god laughed, and the god was punished.

Malroth, the God of War, wreaks havoc on the continent of Avon and causes many innocent people to die, Malroth has no remorse and sees people as puny ants or toys to be played with and broken. The other gods agree that Malroth has gone too far and must be stopped and punished. Once the other gods agree they band together and seal the gods power causing him to be sent down to start a life on the continent he once wreaked havoc on as a weak and insignificant slave.

Will he live honorably and earn his place among the Gods once more? Will he find happiness in a life where he is loved rather than feared? Or will he resign to his fate and live out a pitiful life of a weak insignificant boy below those he once labeled puny and insignificant.

Also thanks for stopping me from writing it the old way! It felt wrong to me.
What do you think of the cover?

Sounds good and the cover is nice. Just try and remember that when it comes to writing, write what you want and feel is interesting without considering what the masses think. Firstly, writing is a hard enough practice when your heart is not in it, you're basically giving yourself a handicap where IF you finish you will never feel satisfied with it. Secondly, if you write something you're passionate about it will show through your work. Marketed properly your audience will come to you. Observing trends is important to know how your work may be initially recieved in a given location, but trends aren't everything. Trends dry up and trend chasers tend to burn out if they care about what they write at all. Those that don't tend to write in a sort of template to try to wring out the almighty dollar.

You may have a smaller audience if you write what you want, but you might not. In the end you will probably be much more satisfied than if you spent your time chasing what you think other people want.

Even if you may feel you lack talent, mastery comes through practice and effort. And effort comes much easier when you can link it with your passion.

I believe many writters these days would benefit if they learned not to care as deeply about what others think, and not be so afraid of the masses that they compromise themselves. Critisism and negative feedback will always come, but like the tide, it passes too. Hold on to your own voice! Always be open to learn, and teachers can come from anywhere; but always check in with yourself and do your best not to bury your own heart. I did that, and it took me years to recover as an artist.

Low key inspiring

Low key inspiring

I suppose it fits the theme of the thread then.

I am more of a poet than a novelist, but I love the art of writing in general. My greatest regret is that I listened too much to how a college professor thought I should write. To him, everything had to come from concrete experiences and my writing was much more subjective and imaginative in nature. I conformed to get the grade, but I came out of that class having lost my own unique voice. I struggled for years writing poetry after that to find it again and unlearn those shackles I put on myself in college. I try to warn others away from the pitfalls I have seen in my life so I can help others from making the same kind of mistakes.

Art can be seen as the external expression of the living subjective world inside of us all. At the end of the day you do have to ask yourself what you want out of your life in your art. Are you satisfied with it's mere expression? Do you want money or recognition? Every artist should ask themselves what they want and what the ultimate purpose of their art is to them. It helps inform you how to move forward. Everyone knows on some level that if you pursue material popularity you run the risk of ignoring your creative impulses for the sake of acceptance. You start listening to the objective world more than the subjective self and that kills the internal expression. But there are no entirely wrong answers as long as you are true to what you are trying to achieve. Some artists fall on the line of pure expression without regard for others, while some forgo art entirely in order to make a business of it. Most people I find fall somewhere in between. I just don't want people to lose sight of what is important to them.
