...their creative juices get super stoked after seeing BSB live? I haven't written much at all lately (hence my absence from these boards), but I went to the show in St. Louis last night -- my first BSB show, AND IT WAS AWESOME -- and couldn't stop thinking about the last story I worked on, even during the show. Is that weird?
I did still totally love the show & find a new appreciation for some old songs I honestly hadn't even thought about in years, not to mention some tracks on the new album that I didn't really enjoy the first time I heard them. I guess it was just surreal finally seeing a group I loved for so long & have devoted so much creative juice to. Hard to separate the guys from my writing anymore when the guys have been so good for my writing...
And yes, I am working on that story again today. I couldn't wait to get up this morning & start writing!
-
I totally understand! After I saw Nick in Montreal a couple years ago (wow I can't believe it has been that long) I was a writing machine! I hadn't written anything in nearly a year and after that I managed to churn out eight new chapters in under a week, lol.
-
I admit this album has sparked something in me! dare I say I have almost written one chapter of a potential something when I thought I would never write anything again.
Keeping the momentum going is the tough part!
-
I havent seen the boys since Mixtape, hadn't written anything new since last September. I did the fairy tale challenge but now I am working on this new story and I think the new album has really inspired me :)i wrote almost three chapters so far and I am super excited.
-
Before going to the TIU concert, I hadn't written for almost three/four years because of university. After seeing them live and finding the whole fiction fandom, I've started to write and it's been three years without a break.
Actually, I'm thinking about selling my story ideas because I've too many. LOL Maybe I can send them to Nick for his movies. LOL
-
I do think it helps the inspiration when you see them live or hear new music. I just hope my inspiration hurries up and returns :)
-
Aww, you were in St. Louis, Ellebeth? Me too!! It was a great show! Such a good one to be your first! I've met a lot of people in the last couple of days who said it was their first BSB show! I love that!!
As far as your question goes... for me, it honestly depends on what I'm writing. If I'm writing depressing, angsty stuff (and I usually am), seeing them in concert doesn't usually help - in fact, it kinda kills my writing mood because how can I torture them after seeing them so happy and healthy and intact? It's hard!!! Like right now, I am on such a Kevin high from this weekend that there is no way I would be able to go and write a scene about him in Guilty Roads, where he's currently in a vegetative state from being shot in the head LOL. Hell no, not happening! But if I had a happy, bromantic story going on (and I don't), the post-concert high would probably help inspire me.
-
After TIU I had a few new story ideas and the next day when I went to write my computer crashed and I was without one for the months 'till I stole my husband's. By then the original story idea Ihad was gone but I still had some creative juices.
-
I woke up feeling that 'urge' to write this morning. I'm pretty sure the only reason for that is all this BSB stuff going on so I'm starting on a chapter two of a brand new suspense/action adventure story that would have never been a thought in my head except for this tour and album stuff!
-
Same here Mare :) posted two chapters of my new one and working on a third. Cooking forward to yours!
-
I'm cooking forward to yours too! LMAO sorry I couldn't resist!
-
Yay! Loving all the bursts of inspiration on the board! Except for the fairy tale challenge, it seems like it's been a slow year as far as writing goes, with a lot of people in slumps. I hope all this BSB love helps get everyone going again!
-

Omg lmao that was my stupid autocorrect :p]
-
I know! LOL that's what made it so funny! Gotta love auto-correct!
In other news, I just finished my second chapter! That's two chapters in two days! Woot!
-
Woot! I need to jump on this inspiration train; I'm running out of time to write before school starts!
-
I love how re-energized so many of us are! It's awesome :)
-
Woot! I need to jump on this inspiration train; I'm running out of time to write before school starts!
I know! I have the crappiest timing ever! LOL
-
I really must thank Julie for the story idea for my new one! I really missed writing suspense and the new music is energizing me so much :)
-
Yay! :)
-
That's three chapters in three days, folks! LOL If I keep this pace up I might be done before school starts!
-
Go Mare!
-
Can't wait to read it!
-
Thanks! Soon I hope! I still am lacking a title! lol
-
Well, it happened; I got my Take Care idea! For now it's just going in my idea pile, but here's a sign of the impact Kevin had on me this weekend - it's a Kevin idea! I never get Kevin ideas! Probably more Kevin/Nick, but still... crazy! Never thought I'd be choosing between a Howie story and a Kevin story to get my angst on.
-
Kevin and Nick? Yes, please! LOL
Had to edit to include two of these guys! :dance: :dance:
-
LMAO Love it!
-
Kevin and Nick. ... I agree with Mare....yes please
-
Thanks! Hopefully someday! It's not really a fully-formed idea yet, but there may be something there!
-
We're 4 for 4! and not even 10 am yet! LOL

Let's keep them both out of any kind of coma too, shall we? LOL :-\ < -- he kind of reminds me of Kevin!

No comas this time! :)

I am 5 for 5! I plan on starting 6 today! I love how motivated I am, I really hope it doesn't go anywhere! I am starting to feel that all too familiar flutter of guilt for working on this instead of thinking about school. LOL
-
LOL I know that feeling. Keep writing, though!
-
Right now it's still early enough to only be a flutter. When it turns into a pang I know I'm in trouble! LOL I am more than halfway through 6 so, that's a good sign!
-
Of course this has to happen now that I'm writing again. Couldn't do it while I was on hiatus, could you AC? ::) :-[ :'( lol
-
That's the glory thing though, you don't have to post to write. This is the perfect time to write without worrying about the distraction that is the AC Most Recent page!
-
I have been writing continuously, I just want people to read it. lol
-
I was zo happy I made my WordPress, now anyone x
Can read if they like.
-
That was smart, although for whatever reason, word press doesn't get along with my computer. I have no clue why! Is the site back up for you guys? I'm still getting that it's down.
-
It's working on my phone okay, obviously you knew that cause I reviewed. I don't know how I am able to, but I will take it.
-
Back up for me. I also reviewed Tracy's new chapter, which may or may not cause the site to spontaneously combust. Then it WOULD be all my fault!

I reviewed it too so I'd share half of the blame. LOL
-
Weird. It's still not up for me! But when I click on the review Tracy left for me I can see it that way but when I click on it from anywhere else it's not there! :( lol so confused!
-
Site wasn't working for me, I tried to read Mare's new chapter and it wouldn't come up! I will try again though.
-
Glad I'm not the only one! LOL
Try to get in through a click for a response to a review. That's the only way I can access it! LOL
-
I was curious so I found if you click in your account info and go to "Reviews Received", you can see them that way.
-
Oh, nice to know! Thanks, Rose!
