When writing are you ideas from experience , imagination, or a combination of both?

A combination. I like to write some authentic experiences and stories from my life, some from imagination, and commercial hubs by researching keywords.
For me, it's writing from experience...still working on the "imagination" area, lol...my husband has that one down pat, though!

I'm usually too tired to give my imagination any freedom, so mine are pretty much from either experience or research.

Both, I try to use experience more than imagination however, both do partake
I do lots of research too, I think that is my favorite part.Most are experience. Do not know if I can put an effort into the imagination thing right now.

Both. Also, it depends on what I am writing. Often a friend spurs me off or sparks my imagination which could count as experience and imagination. My serious poetry comes from experience, my not so serious (lyrical poetry) from imagination. It pretty much depends on my mood.

Mostly experience. I've started to research of few subjects. I've yet to publish any of my poems.

I don't have any imagination. Mine are all either from experience, assimilated knowledge from different research in the past, or research.

I write from my own experiences and try to put it in a voice I think appropriate for my targetted audience. I'm a screenwriter too and have many voices..lol
Definitely both. Sometimes an experience of mine or of someone else I know finds its way into one of my stories or inspires a work entirely its own. On the other hand, the needs of a story and the research I need to do to see how I can make an idea work inspires some experience.

I only have one voice - and at this point I'm sick of hearing it drone on in my own head.

I only write from experience really since my mind works in that way but I combine my imagination as well when giving analogies to the topic
Used to be 90% imagination, 10% experience.
Then it became 90% experience, 10% imagination
Now it's about 95% experience, 5% imaginationA lot from both. Maybe a little more from imagination...yet that is influenced from interests that were inspired by things experienced.
