  39. MaryEllen S says

    Music sets the mood for me, this Apple card would keep me in tunes for a long time, great contest thanks

  40. Vicky H. says

    When I would write, I was easily inspired by my own experiences, whether it’s about my mixed heritage, my family, the negative things I’ve endure, etc.

  43. Angela says

    I really don’t write (unless you count blogging) because I’m not as creative as I seem. So as a surprise, I would download George Strait’s new album for my sister!

  44. Kim says

    When I need some inspiration I will put on some music…usually some psychedelic trance! It gets the creative juices flowing every time!

  47. Natalie says

    My life inspires me to write. When something happens that seems funny or interesting it inspires me. When I stumble onto something cool it inspires me. Thanks! 🙂

  48. d.e. manning says

    inspiration for me is the space between ‘have to’ and ‘get to’.

  49. april says

    The first song I would download is People Are Crazy by Billy Currington.

  56. Natalie says

    Twitter follower, here’s today’s tweet: http://twitter.com/RedSoxMommy/status/3583397672

  57. AmandaK says

    My family is my inspiration for writing. We may not have the most exciting life, but it’s still worth writing about!

  58. Kathleen says

    The first song I would download would be “No Surprise” by Daughtry, thanks.

    kport207 at gmail dot com

  59. Margaret Smith says

    I would download from Meatloaf, Bat out of hell. Love this song. Thanks.

  62. Adrienne Gordon says

    I do listen to music to get my creativity going…or I play on my piano

  64. Marti says

    My children inspire me and when Im inspired I listen to music. The first song I would down load is a Jonas Brothers song

  65. Mike C says

    Lately John Lennon has been inspiring me to write. I’m learning to be honest with myself and in my writing. He did and he seemed to be so free. PLus, I’ve always felt like if he, and The Beatles for that matter, could write so many great songs then certainly I could write one. It’s inspiring and challenging.

  67. Danielle E. says

    The first song I would download would would be The Rock by Tracy Lawrence.

  70. April Belle says

    Letting out the frustrations that hold me back can help a ton in getting my writing groove in gear.

    We definitely follow your blog and I am a big iTunes gal…

  72. Benita G. says

    I am a writer, primarily of poetry. What inspires me is nature: a park, a river, a stream. Also reading someone else’s really good material inspires me to write.

    bgcchs(at)yahoo(dot)com

  74. clenna in NH says

    Things that make me write: when I see two people interacting I like to make up stories about why they are reacting to each other like they are, when a tragedy occurs I like to make up stories about people that may be affected and how it changes their lives.

  77. clenna in NH says

    I entered the Walmart Your Zone Bedroom Makeover and $500 GC Giveaway

  80. Pat says

    Whatever music I’m hearing at the time is the tune that enchants me. Thank you for the contest.

  82. Annette D says

    I love MAYBE I’M AMAZED by Paul McCartney. I just saw him in concert and HE is amazing!

  86. Annette D says

    I follow on twitter and tweeted http://twitter.com/annedoggett/statuses/3590679168

  92. joanne117 says

    the first song I would down load would be Untouched by the Veronicas

  93. Angie says

    The first song I would download is “Obsessed” by Mariah Carey. It’s stuck in my head!

  95. Jennifer says

    I get inspired by writing in a journal. I usually just start writing about anything that comes to mind or nothing in particular.

  96. nicole says

    The first song I would download is higher by Creed. I know they are so outdated but I still love them.

  237. Jayne @ Misplaced City Girl says

    Life inspires me to write. I find writing a great outlet for talking about Bipolar Disorder. The desire to preserve family history inspires me to write. The funny things my granddaughter does, like use syrup to paint on the carpet, inspires. As far as the first song…I would give this to my son who would promptly begin downloading Beatles tunes if they are available. If not, he will find some other classic rock to add to his iPod.

    Music is definitely one of the things that gives me creative inspiration – especially songs with inventive or unique lyrics (like the songs of Radiohead or The Shins) or ones with a lot of passion behind them (like those of artists like Glen Hansard and Brandi Carlile). The first song I would download from iTunes would be Carlile’s latest single, “Dreams.” Thanks for the giveaway!

    I get inspired by my children, and the first song would be Keeper of The Stars..my wedding song.

    What inspires me is being in the great outdoors.

    My first download would be Josh Groban You Lift Me Up
