It has poems, character names, and even things I\u2019ve written about people that I\u2019ve seen on public transportation.<\/p>\n<p>This all started because I either read or heard a piece of advice for aspiring writers: have a pen and notebook with you at all times. You never know when inspiration will strike. Sometimes carrying a full notebook is impractical, so I end up using a phone most often. Another great reason for using a phone is that the chance of losing my notes is very slim. I even take pictures of quotes or chunks of dialogue in books that I like or think I might use for inspiration later.<\/p>\n<p>Stephenie Meyer was lucky enough to have the inspiration for <em>Twilight <\/em>come to her in a dream. The rest of us usually aren\u2019t so lucky or so lucrative, so we have to work at our inspiration. I sometimes draw inspiration from real-life people and events that have happened to me.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, I don\u2019t think an event is going to be a source of inspiration at the time. It\u2019s normally when I\u2019m looking back at my notes and photos that I realize that.<\/p>\n<p>However, the opposite is true for when I\u2019m people watching. People watching feels like an inspiration gold mine even as it is happening. As a group, writers tend to be observant. People watching can be helpful for writers because observing how people interact is pivotal to writing good characters. These observations help when you want to write realistic dialogue, situations, and scenes.<\/p>\n<p>I also draw inspiration from people I\u2019ve seen on social media. Many an Instagram model provides the physical inspiration for characters. Pinterest is great for keeping pictures and \u201ccharacter boards\u201d organized, which can also help cultivate the final look of characters. I have loosely drawn inspiration from characters in books, TV, and movies as well because I think someone\u2019s job is cool or I like some elements of their backstory.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, ignore those who claim that \u201creal inspiration\u201d can only be drawn from the classics, or who say \u00a0something equally \u201csmart,\u201d or who claim that you must write only what you know and the only thing you know are your own life experiences. While their advice is all well and good, don\u2019t discredit your character because he\u2019s more like the love interest in the latest YA novel than Mr. Darcy.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, sometimes your personal experiences are too much to tackle without it hurting too much. Use your own life in your writing only if you want to, only if it serves both you and the writing. It\u2019s YOUR writing, after all.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t permission to plagiarize, of course. Drawing inspiration from someone\u2019s work isn\u2019t the same as plagiarizing. For example, I liked that a male character had a motorcycle, so I gave a love interest a motorcycle. That\u2019s all I did. Plagiarizing isn\u2019t cool. That\u2019s not what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing is not to discredit anything that gives you inspiration for your writing. If Mary Shelley had ignored her dreams, we would never have <em>Frankenstein<\/em>. And what kind of world would THAT be?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A guest post by MFA Candidate Morgan Wilson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2854,"featured_media":16757,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"Morgan Wilson","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[2274,2499,1133,2523],"class_list":["post-10920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english","tag-mfa-creative-writing","tag-mfa-creative-writing-ma-english","tag-mfa-degree","tag-mfa-students"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Voice of Wilkinson | Chapman Blogs<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/2019\/04\/23\/mfa-morgan-wilson\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"So you\u2019re in an MFA program\u2013now what?
