My Inspiration...

     Inspiration is something I have never thought about. So when asked what my inspiration was for class, I drew a blank. So many things inspire me... Movies, books, people, places, music... the list could go on for a while. Since I was only told to choose one, I'd have to say that Movies inspire me. I do realize that thats crazy, but movies are the thing I look to. They take my mind to new places and they can even teach you things. When I have writers block I look to movies for ideas... not to plagurize but to just move along the process. I absolutly love movies (possibly the reason I work at a movie theater). I've gone from watching The Little Mermaid and Herculies to watching The Black Dahlia and Cleopatra. There is not one movie that I could pick that is my one true inspiration. I think they all inspire me to do something. I want to tell a story as good as the ones portryed to me in a movie.
    I think that may be why I have so much trouble with the research papers. They dont eally tell a story like I would prefer. I love to write my own little stories and cast them with real actors and play them out like a movie as I write them. Every time I watch a new movie, I get a little obsessed and look up the historical parts of it (if any) and the actors, and all that jazz. Movies inspire me to try and write stories that can take people the same places the movies did. If that made any since...
    Everyone has their own thing and movies have recently become mine. I've always enjoyed them but recently I have been watching more and more and falling in love with them. I love when books are turned into movies and I can literally see my favorite parts come to life. I want to give that to someone. Movies dont just inspire me to write, they inspire me to do a lot of things, like travel. When you see a place in a movie, and it's beautiful, chances are you will want to go there!
     I hope I did a well enough job of explaing why movies inspire me... possibly not. Sometimes there are just things you cannot describe in words to someone and I guess thats my situation now. They just make me want to give someone the feelings I get when I watch them!
