Where to look for script inspiration?

Read!

Many interesting ideas can come to mind while reading. It's no news, but contact with the written word really stirs the imagination. And it's not that I'm suggesting you copy other creators - absolutely not. Instead, I guarantee that a character created by someone else, a circumstance, a depicted world, a situation, or even a single feature can become so inspiring to you that it opens a box of ideas in your head. By the way, you can look for such a creative impulse not only in the literature of various genres but also in comics - both classics and fresh publications. Maybe just someone's illustration or the way the dialogues are conducted will make you create something of your own. Also, don't forget about mythologies - you may not be a fan of them, but there's a reason mythological motifs have been running through literature since their inception. They speak of universal values, they use metaphors, and they are hyperbolic - all of these things ensure that motifs don't wear out or get old, and what's more, they lend themselves to repetition in a changed and time-appropriate entourage.

Don't be afraid to dream

Each created depicted world, each character and situation is a product of the creator's imagination, experiences, and memories. It is also an expression of his fears, anxieties hopes, and desires. Therefore, don't be afraid to reach into the deep layers of your personality, into your dreams or dreams, because there may be fantastic inspiration hidden there. No one is telling you to copy them in their entirety, but maybe some element is fascinating enough to be worth paying more attention to. Worried that your dreams are sometimes too absurd for a comic book writer? Instead of worrying, look at them with an objective eye, maybe it is in them that you will discover a wonderful new fantasy world, which under the hand of a cartoonist will take real shape.

Look and chill

In addition to the imagination, it's also worth moving the eyes. This is one of our dominant senses, so it's good to provide it with inspiring stimuli. Do you like movies and TV series? That's good because it's a real well of ideas, but remember not to focus on one favorite genre. Don't skip films of a documentary or popular science nature, real stories are sometimes more fascinating than Hollywood fiction saturated with plot twists. Besides, what can be inspiring is not so much the content itself, but the way the plot is presented or the visual effects used.
So don't limit yourself to audiovisual arts, but go to an exhibition held in your area, and browse through artists' works - both traditional and digital. You can play with graphic programs yourself, or GPT chat to create a unique style of illustration.

Inspiration from real life

The best script ideas are often suggested by life. Sharpen your sense of observation, look at people, places, and events. Sometimes one personality trait of a person can serve you to create a fantastic character in a comic book. And if you like this character (and your readers do, too), chances are you won't want to part with him soon. Who knows, maybe she'll prove inspiring enough to become the canvass of an entire series?
If you don't have many sightings in your area, allow yourself to travel. It doesn't have to be exotic lands, break away for a day to another city, take a train ride, cut a chat with a random person, or have a coffee in one of the local cafes. You never know where you will encounter an impulse that will unlock humongous inspiration.
