Greetings ladies and gents, this is probably gonna be one of my shortest posts yet. Just a short update to let you guys know what's up. So remember in my previous post (scroll down) I said I was gonna start writing again? So I've been getting ideas and just generally throwing ideas around in my head, looking for inspiration and stuff and I've finally started working on something. Depending on how it turns out, I may post it here, so check back once in a while. Should take a week or two max.
Anyway, while trying to collect ideas for my writing I made use of quite a few resources which I thought I'd share to help out all those writers who are having trouble thinking of things to write about.
1. Nika Harper
Nika Harper is a writer/gamer/awesome person who(m? I can't handle the differences between who and whom in sentences like these. Let's not be pedantic) League of Legends players are likely to know: she used to host Summoner Showcase, and she's also known as Nikasaur. Anyway I really love her writing, which is inspirational in itself (she has all these awesome ideas), and she also had a video series called WordPlay on youtube, which was meant to help people overcome writer's block and also discuss writing techniques.
Her website: www.thisisnika.com

Her short story journal: www.nikaharper.tumblr.com/
And there are a few other links on her website, feel free to explore those on your own.
2. Writing Prompts That Don't Suck
Okay so I was also looking for writing prompts. You know, like a short phrase/sentence, or an idea, or concept, to jump start the creative process. Most websites gave me pretty shitty stuff though, boring shit. They weren't necessarily bad, but just seemed like they had been done before, or were too narrow. A skilled writer could probably make something cool out of it, but they just seemed like really stale, unimaginative ideas, and I'm not that good.
Enter Writing Prompts That Don't Suck. Daily prompts that are interesting, cover a wide variety of subjects, and are specific enough that you could get ideas from it, but vague enough that you can go in any direction with it.
3. Writing Prompts
Similar to the above, but more varied ideas, and a little more specific.

Okay so that post turned out slightly longer than I expected. So I'm gonna get back to writing.
