It’s crazy where some people can pick up inspiration. Sometimes it can come from a word or a picture or a vision or a dream….there are many reasons why people pursue the things that they do. I think that half of the time people may feel inspired and may not even know what caused it, they just feel compelled. I also think that a lot of the time we don’t understand our own inspiration, we know where it came from, we just might not understand the complete connection. Some things can take themselves and evolve in a person’s mind until they become something completely different and hold just a sliver of the original thing. Where as some people take inspiration in the other direction, the direction of copy cat. Those people don’t seem to have very much imagination. Some people leave part of the original but put a whole new spin on it. I enjoy reading these types of things, many of these things generally end in mockery of the original, and can be very funny.
I enjoy getting inspiration from all sorts of different places. Maybe a story I read, or something that happens in life, or maybe just a beautiful site in nature or a picture that I find stumbling around the internet. I never know where a moment of inspiration will take me, I just start thinking and writing, or just thinking if it’s an inconvenient time to write it all down. None the less, it’s always interesting even if I can’t understand what exactly stroked the fire that made me go down the path of thoughts that I did….or the events that evolved in my head.
