When
the Inspiration Is Gone
We
creative types depend heavily on inspiration.
As a writer, I know this up close and personal. And when inspiration is gone … ?
I
read. I listen. I take a step away.
Yesterday,
I worked on a post for another blog site I have. It was not coming together well. I stopped, re-read, re-visited my original
source from where the idea came, deleted a few paragraphs and kept plugging
way. I finally got my inspiration back
and was pretty pleased with the results.
Sometimes,
I have to physically step away from the process, even to go get a cup of
coffee. The act of moving away and then
coming back often helps start me in a new direction or shows me some other
insight into what I was originally working on.
I
just perused a FAST START magazine and got three blog ideas from it, just from
a highlighted passage or two in the articles.
Inspiration
sometimes flows fast, and sometimes needs a bit of wooing.
