2 people stuck in a horror-movie type setting and one of them keeps doing things that usually get you killed in horror movies and the other is like nO YOU IDIOT DON'T DO THAT because they're Genre Savvy(TM)?
Oh man, I love these. It’s like, my favorite joke. I make them all them all the time. My friends and I used to talk about weird horror movie scenarios all the time too. I think I got this one.
1. “Hey! I heard about this old haunted house on the edge of town! I think we should go check it out!”
“Im sorry, you want to do what now?”
2.”Did you hear that? Let’s go see what that was”
“Uh, yeah, I don’t think so.”
3. “Did you know you had a basement?”
“I didn’t? Let’s go see what’s down there.”
“No way. I’ll tell you what’s down there from up here; Demons,That’s what’s down there. Demons.
4. “Look at how cute this house is! It’s so quaint and vintage! I think it’s the one for you!”
“I don’t know about that…”“Oh come on, I know it’s a little out dated but I think-”
“Stop using ‘out-dated’ as a cute way to say haunted, I am not buying it, or this creepy house”
5. “It was probably just the wind”
“The windchimes seem to disagree with that”
6. “Stop, Im not trying to be sexy, I am literally home alone right now and it’s seriously starting to creep me out, just come over already.”
7. “I thought I told you to lock the door!”
“You told me not to lock the door?”
“No, I told you to always lock the door, unless you’ve noticed the classic signs of the killer already being in your house, then you never lock the door”
8. “Dude, come on, didnt anyone ever tell you that having sex during times like this is like literally begging for the killer to come for you?”
9. “Check it out! I found this really cool antiqu-”
“Im gonna stop you right there. Put it back; It’s haunted.”
10.”Let me get this straight? You want to go camping in the woods; where there is no one around for miles, no cell phone reception, and where three people went missing last year, with no camping or wilderness experience, camping gear that hasn’t been touched in over twenty years, and your car that has had the engine light on since you bought it? “
“Yeah, Some guy told me about it on my home right now”
“So, some random guy came up to you while you were walking, at 10 o’clock at night, and told you about an abandoned campground in the middle of the woods,a campground that is infamous for missing people, and you thought that it was a good idea?”
“It sounded fun at the time?”
11. “Where are you going?”
“To see what fell in the kitchen?”
“Im sorry, I love you, but are you trying to die?”
I really hope you like them! If you need anything else, feel free to ask!
How do you find inspiration to write?
By this definition, there are two different types of inspiration. Lets look at the second one first, because it’s the easier to talk about.
This is the kind of inspiration a lot of people think of when they consider the world. It’s the muse, the genius. It’s that moment when you’re not expecting enlightenment but it hits you anyway, with such force that you have to race to your keyboard or art pad or so-forth to let the creativity flow out so you don’t explore from it.
It’s also completely and entirely unpredictable. You can’t force yourself to have this sort of inspiration.
It’s also not the mark of a Good Creator to have this kind of inspiration. Most of the best works ever made were made without the slightest touch of sudden brilliance.
This sort of inspiration is lovely to feel and it’s empowering to work under, but it’s irrelevant to the end result of a project. Good creations are not produced by sudden brilliance but by showing up and doing the work.
(For more about this, see Elizabeth Gilbert’s TED talk here)
This is a softer, less-spoken-of kind of inspiration. It’s the inspiration that comes from a painstakingly assembled pinterest board or playlist, the inspiration that takes time and effort to produce, the inspiration that doesn’t hit you over the head but fills you up, slowly, though energy and understanding of one’s self.
There are many ways to produce this inspiration, and each individual creator will only respond to some of them. Lets consider a few now:
Visuals. Having visuals that remind you of the thing you’re writing, drawing, etc, can spark inspiration for a lot of people, especially if they relay the atmosphere of the project, getting the creator in the mood for it.
Sound. Playlists with music that fits the type of creating, the project itself, or some particular aspect of the project, like a scene or a character, can be a fantastic source of inspiration and if you form a habit out of only listing to that music when you’re preparing for or actively creating that thing, it trains your brain to turn on “creating mode” so to speak.
Habit. In the same way, any sort of habit that’s specific to your creation process can be very useful: setting up your workplace in a creation only area, with the same background noise, a similar drink, a similar time of day, etc.
Meditation. Now, I don’t mean the sort of meditation where you drop everything from your head and float away from your body. I mean deliberate contemplation. Meditate on your project, on where it’s going and what it means to you, on the emotions it invokes and the reasons you chose to write it in the first place.
Interaction. Sometimes you have to start without any inspiration and by diving into your project you’ll gain that inspiration through your interaction with your creation. Maybe it’s work for the first five paragraphs or the first sketch, but as you find your flow and connect with that you’re doing it might just embrace you in return.
But remember: this sort of inspiration doesn’t come every time you want it. Even the most dedicated creators will lack it entirely some days, and that’s perfectly normal. Inspiration like this is a really nice bonus that can help you find joy in shaping your creation, but it, like sudden brilliance, isn’t necessary to the creative process. It’s just a nice bonus.
