Can you write even if you aren't inspired?

If nothing inspires you, then make it inspire you. At first my book wasn't inspired by nothing and now the characters are inspired by people..:)

Not any way I can think of. :/

Or you can take advantage of other things out there, like how I am basing a book of mine off the idea of a tragedy like Romeo and Juliet.

try relaxing and wrote them all down and then think of ways they can go to different stories or all together

eh.. depends on my mood... what i do is usually read a crap load of things like fanfics or books...

No, you can't write without inspiration. That's the thing. You have to wait for inspiration to find you. Sometimes I'll be out grocery shopping with my mom and daydreaming about stuff while pushing the cart, and something out of the blue will hit me. It doesn't have to be something that you see. The thing I've learned though, is that if you seek inspiration, you are less likely to find it than if you want it, but you let it come to you.

Become inpired!
I know it's not as easy as it sounds, but think of one person who means a lot to you, and base a character on them, what your most treasured parts about them can be your characters! :)

In a way, no, you cannot write without inspiration. My book, Blaze of Glory (still in progress) was inspired by a lot of things, but in a way it wasn't. I just wanted to do something besides drawing. The title was inspired by the song "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi. The characters wern't inspired by anything. Their powers, yeah, their personality, no. The absolute main reason for my book was Rick Riordan who writes the Percy Jackson series; he's the one who inspired me. But if anyone ever tells you your books or poems are lame are bad, don't listen; take your own advice. :)

Of course a person can write without inspiration - in fact, one has to, in order to be a writer. If people waited for inspiration, no one would ever get anything finished!

You have to make writing a practice, something that you do every day (and everyday). As you get into the routine of writing, you'll be able to get your ideas down on paper (or on screen, if you're not printing it), and the process of doing that often leads to interesting insights. In addition, when you get all of your existing ideas out of your head by writing them and then continue writing, new ideas will often pop into your head.

If you feel stuck, change the format of your writing. Do outlines of your ideas, if you can't make any progress on the story. Or, as an alternative, you could try ignoring the ideas you have for your story for a while and trying to write something that isn't necessarily going into the story, like a character's history, or the history of the character's parents, or more detailed descriptions of each building in the town where the story is set. What happened on that site in 1856? Working on details like that, which may seem unimportant to you as you write them, can both engage you in the setting of the story and get you to relax about your "primary" ideas for the story.

Hemingway famously said that the first million words anybody writes are crap (that's a paraphrase). If you wait for inspiration, you'll never get all the crap out of your system, and you'll never become the writer that you could otherwise be.

Another suggestion: try National Novel Writing Month this year, or set yourself a similar challenge sooner than that. Have a goal for your writing, but make sure it isn't something amorphous like "I want to finish this story!" or "I want to get published!" Set yourself a more concrete goal, like "I want to write 1,000 words a day for a week." After a few days of that discipline, you'll probably find that the writing comes much more easily to you.

do something inspiring and make yourself inspired!! ride your bike by a river or walk to
7-11. look out your window and see a group of girls walking and make those your charactars. make a family tree of random people and make it as drama-y as you can! there are soo many weird things that you can do!

You can't write without inspiration, but I find it helpful to at least try. When you attempt to write, the ideas eventually hit you.
