Running Out

I never really know how to respond to people who ask me where I get my ideas or inspiration from. By far, this is Numero Uno in terms of my writing-related FAQ’s that I’ve gotten on here, or anywhere.

On a certain level, I just want to laugh. Partially because I’ve never had the problem of “running out of ideas” (I have writer’s block just like the rest of you, but my particular issue is just getting myself motivated to actually work on the ideas I already have), but mostly because I don’t know how it’s possible to not be inspired.

Don’t you go about your day thinking and learning and listening and observing? Isn’t that enough to get started on something? Because it’s usually enough for me. And this is coming from a very introverted and often misanthropic recluse.

Take out your earbuds, put down your devices. Throw water in your face and then smack your cheeks. Open up your ears and eyes. The end.
