D.W. Part 3 - How to find Inspiration

I must have written a lot about this on my blog, but right now I want to look deeper into the meaning of "I'm out of inspiration!"
I know that it can be very vexing to acknowledge the fact that you have nothing to write about; isn't it painful? Isn't it so irritating?
Well, what recommend doing is jotting down ideas for why exactly you are out of inspiration.
Also, I say, what about you talk to a friend of yours who likes writing, or just browse the web for a family-friendly website when you can discuss things like that? I suppose it may sound stupid of me, but I really care and often feel downcast when I have nothing to write about.

If you doubt yourself in your skills and think that you can't find anything positive to write about, then maybe you are unsure if you really want to continue your hobby.
I say, the only three things that you need to become an author is.. or rather, here are my top three advices for writing a story:
1. You need your imagination.
Without an imaginative plot, characters and settings can make your story very dull. And remember, if you have not a fun time writing about something, then most likely people won't have fun reading your story.
2. You have to be critical to yourself and work on your weak areas.
It is important that you are very critical on yourself. For instance, I year or two back I wrote stories with hardly any descriptions! And - now! Oh, aren't I glad that then I said to myself, "Sandra, if you want to consider writing seriously then take your time and write as descriptively as you can!"
3. You have to be fully acquainted with your characters.
I wish to invest more in this topic, and the one about criticizing yourself. You see, the characters will seem stiff and undeveloped if you don't know much about them, usually! So, what about sitting down and jotting down ideas for that Marcus or Tim? Perhaps they - I don't know - own their own harps? Who knows? Or maybe deep inside their hearts something is bothering them from the past? OR they always get excited about cake?
