InspirationI get inspired by many things. Books, movies -- once I saw a man wearing an eyepatch at the China Orchid buffet. I've never used him in a book, but I want to. Someday.
Just lately I've been inspired by my own sort of lack of inspiration. By this I mean that I'm a wee bit tired of the same old thing, and I'm glad for the chance to break free. Dance a new dance. Try out something different from the dessert tray.
So what have I been doing?
Playing the Sims. Loafing. Some might call this fooling around or goofing off, but I prefer to think of it as creative rebuilding, refueling the ole memory tanks.
Sims, loafing, internet gossiping, hot baths and reading. Ahh, the life of luxury.
Oh, who am I kidding? I'm goofing off and fooling around!
Back to the grindstone, I say, back! Back! *cracks whip*
But at least now, I have inspiration, in the lyrics of a song. In the visuals of a movie that scared the pants off me. In the unfinished work I put aside months ago in favor of something else.
Now I feel like I have something to work toward, at least. And that's a good feeling.
What inspires you?
