What's your favorite song in the video? Did any of them help you to feel inspired?

[danman]

AS A HUMAN I ENJOY THE INDIVIDUAL WAVES OF VIBRATIONS PASS THROUGH MY EAR CANALS. THIS GIVES ME A GOOD HORMONAL RESPONSE AS ANY HUMAN WOULD KNOW.

[ripley]

although the robot didn't have a beating heart, the flame of imagination still flickered within its gears.

[josharmstrong]

This music does indeed make me want to create an entire universe just for the sake of it

I always have had a few ideas floating around in my head just need to put them into physical form in one way or another

[Yehoshua]

This single video has now fueled over 22k words of pure world building. I owe you everything sir, thank you.

[enbee]

This is causing me to remember so many hundreds of ideas for worlds, art, games, characters, etc that I've had before and never actually done anything with or never finished what I did do, so many unfinished blender projects and partly written down ideas never finished because I don't have enough time or motivation

[anthonyporche]

There is something... fascinating (I think?) about this visual. Nevermind the inspiration it creates, just seeing a simple robot and his miniature companions wandering about on his desk as he writes on scraps of parchment paper with a bottle of ink at the ready, the vast network of pipes and machinery in the background slightly obscured, and the brilliant light illuminating the otherwise empty realm of metal as if to give this strange building a new "life" after some time of some kind of "death"... It seems to want to tell about it's own history despite saying nothing at all.

[AmaiOtoko]

to everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus.
to everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve.
to everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. when you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time.
to everyone who is drawing, you got this. you're art is amazing. keep your head up (or down, depends on where your paper is) and remember that you matter.

[sirariusritter]

I love that Tale Bot is left handed, it makes him feel a bit more unique, even more than he already is.

[Frank-roxh]

theres something beautiful about a machine trying to create a book being capable to write what he can´t live, but capable to control what he´s character can do, being capable to have a morality in them, he´s attempting to imagine, he´s living his tale.

[stevenfraielli]

You know what
Today I'm actually gonna start. Been putting it off for months but this might just get me in the right mood and push me to finally begin.

[jasonmiller]

I’m not a novel writer or anything, but I am a Dungeon Master. This is great ambiance for painting miniatures and weaving campaign twists. I listened to this while painting the dragon for next session and brainstorming his monologue. And to think the party feels safe up in the cloud giant’s castle, muhahaha!

[barmecideblu]

To everyone who is writing, stop reading the comments and switch back to your document. Stop staring at the blinking cursor. STOP STARING AT IT. Write. Write something. Change the font every time you feel yourself hitting a wall, reread it in that font, and keep going. This is your first draft- you can refine it later. Can't think of a name? Make a comment or note in your document or on a sticky note, stick that note to your screen. Do your reasearch dive *later.* Write. Set a timer for 10 minutes and don't stop writing until it's over, then cut out the fluff. Put a stuffed animal or action figure next to your computer and talk to it about the plot points you're planning and where the story needs to go- programmers explain their code to rubber ducks to find errors, and you will find a way forward if you talk about it. If you're writing for a long time, then get up, get a glass of water, eat a granola bar or something and take a walk to stretch your legs. You'll write better if you're not staring at a computer screen for an hour on end.

Thank you for this amazing playlist of songs. And yes, it did make me feel inspired to write my own story. I am now almost 11 years old, and today, on 18/03/2023, I have wrote my first story. As a kid, my imagination always runs wild. Even till now, I have a lot of stories floating inside my head. But finally, I have decided to write my imagination out. I have always dreamt of reading a fantasy book that was written by me. Anyway, thank you for this playlist and for inspring me for writing my own story.

[hypocrisyatitsfinest]

As someone who makes stories and ocs not art but the characters themselves this is exactly what i needed.

[Darkkrebs]

Wow, Talebot, that’s what you look like when you’re not a shadow puppet?

[westontaylor]

Not sure if you'll actually read this but I just wanted to say thank you for your incredible works wether they be stories, analysis, or any other piece. These videos have been instrumental to me learning and improving as a writer, and broadening my horizons as to the sources for my own works. Here's to the one of the biggest inspirations I've found in some time, and hopefully to some day write my way into the world with some modicum of success.

[romanticmelody]

To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.

[melthebookdragon]

Can I say, thank god for this playlist. Everyday I get distracted while writing and eventually make my way through youtube's informational/essayist videos, and eventually this playlist will pop up, reminding me to actually do the writing and not just the "inspiring". That what I love about this channel. Y'all have put out an amazing amount of writing since the start of this channel. Would love to buy any self-published stuff for this channel!

[vilepeople]

This is just what I needed because I always play music while writing then focus on the music
