I will buy a lamborghini, a house.

Then I will put the rest on my bank.

How about you?

Brainstorming is often considered one of the most effective ways of getting inspiration. Personally, for me, sometimes it works well, and sometimes it just leaves me up at 3AM with eight pages full of absolute nonsense. It always depends on what I am trying to do.

Do you find brainstorming effective personally? What forms of inspiration work best for you?

Foreign languages are a gem to learn in my opinion. My favorite (and second) language is German, where I know very basic German. Honorable mention goes to Herge's Syldavian, because his comics are real fun to read .

Personally, I'd say I'm a decent writer, but I would never really be able to make a living off of it. The best I can do is make good grades on papers, but I still enjoy it.

So, are there any accomplished writers here at Makestation? If so, be sure to show us some of your writings in this board!

Personally, I'm the kind of guy who has no issue coming up with unique ideas, but when it comes to actually putting forth the effort and work to make them a reality, motivation becomes an issue. I tend to like projects that can be completed within a few weeks, and often far-fetched ideas and projects take many months or years to complete. Generally, it really helps me to stay motivated when I make it a priority and spend a considerable amount of time on a project on a consistent basis. When it becomes a part of my daily routine to do coding for a specific project, or something along those lines, it becomes easier to stay with the project even after many months.

So what are your creativity motivation tips?

The 20 injured is from an earlier report from the Indianapolis Star. 5 are trapped inside.

The collaborative world project, on alternatehistory.com's forums, is a collaborative fictional world project. It's pretty much parallel to our earth. It's a very awesome project, and the entire base for the world (geography, ecology, etc.) has been finished, and now the basic history is being discussed. Here's a link if you want to check it out: http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussi...p?t=282532

(heck, you should already know where althist.com is, it's a very good community nonetheless).

(move this if section wrong; I don't want to post it in projects because it isn't mine)

Which one do you prefer?

Personally I love to read ebooks. Hard copy is often too heavy for me.

I think not trying is worse, because in failures you at least learn something.

I use WMP for my music player/library purposes. It's not so different to WinAmp or iTunes, and is pre-installed anyways.
