Let me talk to you about inspiration. It's a beautiful thing and frustrating thing, isn't it? Sure, when it hits you, its great. You can sit down, spit out a thousand words like it's nobody's business.
But when it's gone? It's gone. Nothing works. Nothing.
What gives us the inspiration? It could be something you experience:
An especially bright august morning.
A deer on a bike path.
The Smell of Pine-sol.
Or maybe it's a quote:
"He never apologized for the flood."
"If you kill me, I'll never pick up another homeless guy."
Or a simple idea that manifests itself in my head that I can't let go:
What if your mother was dying?
What if your father was dead?
A song lyric. A walk in the park. A trail of blood in a storm drain. A doctor's thick glasses.
It's amazing, when it boils down to it. Incredible, astounding. A thousand words could be said. But one is enough: Amazing. Amazing that such a small instance, A small thought, can inspire stories like this.
Thanks for reading.
