Oh the Places You'll Go

Oh, creativity. When does it come? Is there a moment when it reveals itself or do we have to work until something comes out?

Waiting for inspiration to strike is the epitome of a mood killer

When is that moment? When is creativity to finish a new project or idea arriving? Please share your ETA?

I wonder what its favorite form of transportation is; perhaps it walked to your apartment in Manhattan and entered the the wrong zip code into Maps and ended up somewhere in Brooklyn

Or took the Subway and is now stuck in one of the tunnels running through the East River

I ask from experience as my last story was eight months ago and trust me inspiration has stricken me like lighting a million times but not once have I fully committed to the act of finishing the countless story ideas I planned on placing here;

So much has happened since; I will detail it at a later time

Perhaps, the lesson here is to plan a point in time where you will be creating like a mad scientist burning the midnight oil

It does not have to be perfect and honesty, it might be the most imperfect of all ideas or works but use it as a stepping stone into your later work

Make mistakes often and early, learn and repeat
