Creating Inspiration
Some folks say inspiration is what’s needed to create, but, I say we can create inspiration as well. Take journaling, which is basically what I do when I’m blogging. By using a stream of consciousness approach, ie., just write whatever pops into my head, and keeping at it, not stopping or allowing myself to be interrupted, I notice that sooner or later I write something that inspires me, which is what I’m after.
If my writings inspire others that’s great, but, first and foremost I write to inspire me, because, by golly, I like being inspired.
I have sat around waiting for inspiration, walked around looking for inspiration, but it wasn’t till today, writing this, that I realized I can create inspiration. I like that, I like that a lot. I wouldn’t be surprised if along with this realization, my songwriting prolificness picked up. I’ll keep you posted about that.
