Forget Your Muse

Forget Your Muse

  1. I love this! I hate feeling like I have to wait for inspiration to strike. Because it does, often at the most inopportune moments. But it ALSO strikes when I’m in the middle of doing creative work. I might be researching a blog post and I get an idea for a plot problem in the novel I’m writing. Or I’m working on the novel and I get inspiration for my PhD chapter. You’re more likely to be inspired when you’re doing creative work…so instead of waiting for one before you do the other, do the other and the inspiration comes along anyway!

  2. Inspiration does come in many ways. For some people it may be the intention to write at first, a topic or thought of some kind, and then the execution. I know for myself once I begin to write it continues to flow through me. And yes I can do it all on my own without an excuse from my muse. I can do anything I want to once I put my mind to it, whether it constitutes hard work or something that is completely easy.
