Any tips on finding inspiration for writing? I try to write short stories but feel like all my creativity has left me.
Liz Braswell
The answer is to write every day, at least a page a day. You can't just write only when you are inspired; trust me, most authors don't wake up inspired every day. Once your mind and body get used to writing for a set period every day you will find inspiration comes more easily.
That being said, when I am truly blocked I go out and do something creative that totally doesn't involve writing--usually I go to art museums. Something about an entirely different medium and process gets my mind going again.
Hope this helps!

So you've done Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast (excited for that one!). Brave is my all-time favorite, and Merida is my princess (it's a curly redhead thing). Would you ever consider doing Brave or a more recent film? Maybe asking the question what if Merida never changed her mother into a bear and she was forced to choose a suitor? How would she change her fate then?
