"Read books. Care about things. Get excited. Try not to be down on yourself. Enjoy the ever present game of knowing." 

-John Green

This quote works as writing inspiration in an abstract way. With writing, like all things in life, you need to know things and experience things to be able to do it well. If you've never gone on a spontaneous adventure, how can you explain a spontaneous adventure realistically to a reader? If you've never been afraid or happy or depressed, how can you truthfully show those emotions. As a writer, you need to know about things, care about things, not be afraid to get too excited about life and learning. If you don't, your writing will reflect it. So you just need to "Enjoy the ever present game of knowing" and learn the shit out of everything you can.

You can write fanfiction or realistic fiction detailing life and it's symbolism. You could write a silly story about a cow and it would fit in somewhere on this website. I like it because it gives you a place and community you can feel safe posting your works in.
