Inspiration is lazy (as well as random)
April 21st, 2008 by arielal09
Inspiration is so random. One day your Word document fills with the snap of your fingers and the next you have absolutely nothing to say. It is like the post I wrote a while ago “A blank Word document and nothing to say”, that was one of those uninspired days. But today it is different, in a way it is better, I am for the first time since we started blogging inspired. Not by anything in particular, my life is not spectacular but I very weirdly feel as if I could write forever and ever. In a way I am scared to. I am mean, what if the inspiration runs away? What if I give all my ideas in one single week and then that is it? Like as if G-d said, no more inspiration for you, you’ve had enough? I mean I of course know it doesn’t work that way, but it surely feels like it. There is what I think is a popular saying that I have heard many times that says “Inspiration is lazy.” I do believe that is true, just when it feels like it, it works, it clicks, and it creates wonders. But those lazy days are just a pain. You cannot feel it inside you. You feel (well at least I do) washed out, unoriginal, and most importantly uninspired. And what makes it so unbearable is that there is nothing really you can do about it. Even when you try to wake up that inspiration inside you, by reading other blogs or doing something creative, the harsh truth is that if it is not in you, you can’t bring it in. I am sure a lot of more professional and serious people are able to ring the alarm clock on their inspiration and get it rolling. But even if they do have magical powers you know, you just know, it is not the same as if you were inspired. I am not specifically speaking about writing, although I am partly. I am speaking about life. Everything in it, it depends on how you see it. For me it is art. There seem times when you get a sort of “writers block”. You can’t draw. I mean, you can draw (of course you can you just grab a pencil and clean sheet of paper, it is that simple) but you can’t draw right. Your brain isn’t flying with ideas, your drawings look sloppy and weak and you just can’t feel it. It is like an emotion only it is not an emotion. Does that make sense? You cannot draw or write or whatever you are doing unless you are truly inspired. And only a really big person (I do not mean size wise of course) can do so without being inspired. Unfortunately, I am not that big of a person (in fact I am really small, size wise) and cannot seem to do it. Last week for example, writing my blog was hell. In the end I did not “make a difference” (remember “A blank Word document and nothing to say?”) and just wrote what to me is nonsense. Since nobody responded I assume the world thought the same, and frankly I do not judge or resent them, I applaud them for not giving me any comments on such a bad written blog. Not in the sense of paragraph placement, word choice, etcetera, but in the sense of its insignificance to the world. I tried everything that week to inspire myself, but the task was not completed. As for “Inspiration is lazy”, all I have to say is that is also very random.
