Creative Writing Blog thread

Hi, I have added some more poems to my blog. Some of the language is a bit fruity but I hope there's some stuff in there to maybe give you a chuckle or make you think. Some of them are just whimsical but there's a few serious ones. I'd love you to take a look. http://busypuffin.blogspot.hu/ Thanks.

This thread has died a bit it seems, its very hard to stay enthusiastic and read others stuff when secretly all we want is for people to read our stuff!

So how about instead of all promoting our own blogs and writing, we might throw out here what it is that makes us want to write? Is it something we see? A mood we are in on a particular day? Do we write better at times of great stress and unhappiness or do we write better when our heads are in a good place?

Personally I took up writing, i use the term "writing" loosely. Its all just rubbish really but I took it up at a time in my life when I could barely stand to be left alone in my head for 3 seconds, I was in a bad state and found it distracting and very cathartic. The stuff I wrote started off very dark. Now things are fine in my life again the need to write has died down but also the mood of all the poems has perked up, Ive tried writing kids poems, I had an idea to get old fairy tails and make them modern and a bit more "real". Like the ugly duckling, he unfortunately stays ugly but has a wicked personality that shines through and he gets a great job on the radio. Crap like that.

It would be great to hear what other people find inspiring and maybe a bit of background about there stuff before so we can have an idea where they are coming from when we read it.
