Inspiration

Finding inspiration can be easy or it can be hard. Sometimes when I sit down to write absolutely nothing comes out. Other times the amount of stuff floating around up in the Attic makes it even harder to write. I think that my muse, whom ever it is, likes to take long vacations after which feeling badly pumps me full of too many ideas to count.

So I have come up with some sort of solution. I must keep things simple before I let them get overly complicated. I write in this blog practical every day, or at least ever week day during my lunch break. I also spend a lot of time either reading or writing in my journal everyday (I also spend too much time watching TV on my mac... I should work at limiting that). Hardest is that I have to work everyday.

Its been several days since my sisters graduation, and sadly the commencement speaker did not give me anything to really think about. The Baccalaureate speaker did. She said keep a hold of your dreams. Even if you are not working on that dream right now, keep a hold on that dream, keep working towards it. My questions is: What the hell is my dream? Is it to Act? Direct? Write? And what in those fields? TV? Film? Stage? Plays? Short stories? Poems? Is it bad that I want to do it all?

Perhaps that is really the problem, both in my writing and in my dreaming. I want to much, I think too much, I dream too much. Is my muse simply making fun of my overly active creative side that I seem to have little to no control over? I believe that my right brain is way too active for its own good (although every time I take the 'where you think quizzes' they say I think in the middle of my brain). I dream sleeping and waking. I try to write down as many as I can. Yet I feel over powered by all of my thoughts. Sometimes it is just easier to not write at all, but simply listen and watch other writers works. Trying to empty your head, is really hard to do. Inspiration needs space in which to grow, right?
