Seeking Inspiration


It's quiet, dark outside. I'm sitting here trying to summon up the energy to get some projects started.

But I should know by now that when I'm tired, I'm sucked dry of the kindling of inspiration.

I've learned that I must strike while the iron is hot. Because once it's cold, there's no turning up the heat.


Yet oftentimes ideas dawn on me when it's late and I'm ready for sleep. Or sitting in traffic. Or in the midst of raking leaves.


And then when I'm done with chores, the ideas have been swept away like cobwebs with a broom. All I feel is empty at that time. Starting a project is just not in the cards.


I'm at my most exuberant when the day yawns and stretches ahead of me. And I've had a good nights sleep.

And so I shall go take my shower. Grab some magazines and flip through them before bed. Perhaps tomorrow will be the day the ideas will flow from my brain into my fingertips.

When the muse will grab hold of me and shake me with new and exciting ideas.


Unfortunately, I can see that today is just not that day.


What do you do to get the creative juices flowing?
