I've been here for awhile and Ive never filled out a form for being a member x'D But I will when we get a new thread. I'm sick as a dog and my writing spirit has died with my soul. I've been reduced to bedrest and the longer I lay here I feel like its more and more my deathbed x-x

I want to enter into this writing competition thing my school is doing, and I have plenty of ideas, but absolutely no inspiration. I only have a bit over two weeks left, I haven't started writing at all yet, and it needs to be at least three pages. Does anyone have any suggestion for how to get the inspiration?

Also, a question.

My answer
What do you think of using big words in your writing?

It depends on the writing. I literally used the word 'inhibit' in an essay I was writing for school today, and pretty much anything serious I write has words like that. When I'm writing fiction though, I prefer not to use large words, as I don't want to scare the reader away or make them spend longer reading the dictionary than my writing. Then there's dialogue, where it depends on the character. Generally though, I stay away from large words because characters don't asseverate, they say.

How I usually get inspiration is either by reading (which I guess is rather obvious) or watching a movie/TV show that has excellent writing and good characters. Also music. Sometimes music helps my creative juices flowing. Oh, and just thinking about various plots and such as I fall asleep. LOL, guess I have more than one way to get inspiration for a story.

Well, being naturally good at language (at least, that's what everybody tells me XD) I find big words easy to come by and I quite like them. Of course, that question depends on your definition of "big" when it comes to words. Which I guess means that some words others may find big, I find small and simple. Also, when I do write poetry (which is incredibly rare) I will almost always use big words over small, probably because I think it sounds better.

I know I'm really new around here, but I'd like some advice/suggestions on what I think may be a good story setting to write about. So, this is kinda based off of my beliefs with the supernatural, but, hold onto your seatbelts.

The time frame would be unsettled (not the past, or a really far away future), max amount of time between now and time frame would be three, four years max. Not a dystopian society or anything, just regular human life. Scientists, however, have discovered that many humans have a natural sixth sense to see/hear/experience the supernatural (for sake in this story, no vampires/werewolves/fairies/etc, just ghosts (bad or good natured, for the most part), and it is not a figure of your imagination. Out of Body experiences become way more common to the public, and are public knowledge, but due to a few accidents, the public fears having them. Some test subjects that had OBE's ended up stuck in the realm between what is after, and Earth, because they didn't get back to their body before a bad natured/good natured ghost took over their body.

Let me explain further on the whole OBE thing.

If you are in between sleep and consciousness, you can essentially "tug" your soul from your body, and look down at your body as just a sliver of yourself (this is said to be a true thing). My theory is that people that have OBE's that are sucked back into their bodies immediately are born with built-in sensor that tells them a "bad" natured soul is trying to take over their body, and attaches them back to their bodies. However, some of these people are not born with that sensor, and due to lacking it, are not alarmed of their body being taken over, and are left for eternity in the realm of souls, unless they steal someone else's body.

My main character will be having obe's, (she does have that sensor) but she refrains from returning to her body a couple of times, etc. I don't even know. I'm writing this at 2:14 in the morning?? Yay/nay? Something? Comment? Suggestion?

Bumping this idea because if someone maybe has some suggestions, I might start writing.
