Books and magazines broaden your horizon by taking you to places you’ve never been. They also introduce you to people and characters you wouldn’t be able to meet on your own. A quote or line from a book might give you writing inspiration; an interesting article might help you create your own twist to the topic.

The conversations you have with your family and friends can help you think of ideas for a new blog post or an article you are writing. These people stir your thoughts and they also give their own input to a subject. It is like having your own collaborative team of writers.

In my university poetry and fiction class, a guest writer told us that if we wanted to be good writers we needed to observe people. After trying out his advice, I can say that he is right. Watching people go about their tasks is like being immersed in our humanity. There are so many things you can explore and write about this topic.

Keeping a writing journal is a good way to document inspiring quotes, interesting conversation, and even random thoughts that pop into your head. You can browse through your journal when you need new ideas or writing inspiration.

Without inspiration, your words come out mechanical and dull. Inspired writing, on the other hand, touches people and moves souls. You can therefore understand why finding inspiration is such an important thing. Remember that if you lose your muse or your inspiration, you don’t have to look very far. You can find writing inspiration everywhere.
