Sometimes, I get the urge to write.
And more often then not, I start writing, and find that I don't have much to write about.
Either that, or I have a really good idea,
but then don't know how to carry it through.
I'll forget about it.
And then find it later.
I'll read it,
And realize how much I've improved since then.
And then I'll forget about it all over again.
I have a feeling that I'm not going to be able to help you with the forgetfulness part,
But I sure am gonna help you get some good old fashioned in-spir-a-tion!
So, what does inspiration mean?
Well, according to dictionary.com, it means
1. an inspiring or activating action or influence
2. something inspired, as an idea
3. a result of inspired activity
4. a thing or person that inspires
But to me, inspiration just means
where all of your good ideas come from.
such as
nature
an author
a person
an event
etc.
Nature is a big inspiration in my life.
Since I live so close to the mountains, it's all around me,
every day
all day.
And I love it.
For inspiration, look to the leaves
trace your finger along the veins,
feel the papery texture of it's skin
break one open and smell it's scent.
and repeat.
Do this with other things, to get more ideas.
Authors and people can be a vast store of both
information, and inspiration.
Look to them for wisdom and ideas.
Events in your life is self explanatory enough.
Try twisting them in new ways,
just to make them more interesting.
And last of all,
write away!
