When you need to rp or just want to, but can't find the inspiration/motivation to write what do you do to get yourself in the mood? Right now my tanks on empty and I need some ideas.

I will take in personality traits, history of the character, experiences, ect, and then just think what be cool for him to go through to make him grow even more(as it is now, Gramps is but an empty shell).
Also, as... out there as this sounds, you should listen to what the character wants to say/do ect. Feel out Tap and have him tell you a story, which in turn you will convey to us.
Edit: Sitting down and just writing also helps me, even if it has no purpose, it might evolve into something more.

Watch films and analyse their characters.

That's kind of what I'm going to be doing, using ideas from movies. Certain scenes themes and all that. I figured it would being a nice change to my writing. I know you already tried that though

I listen to Evanscence or Megadeth. Instant spark.
I'd just say listen to your favorite bands.

I know what you're going through. Up until yesterday I was really in the mood to write, but I just had no inspiration for what to write about. I didn't really do anything to get the creative juices rolling, just sort of sat back and let it come to me. Guess everyone's different though, what works for one person might not work for you, ya know?
