Some of you who've read my posts on the TAXI forum know that I think that inspiration is over-rated as a creative strategy. At least inspiration as used to describe an artist waiting for the muse to whisper in her ear or waiting for "lighting" to strike.
But I think here I'm talking about a different kind of inspiration, the kind that is necessary to keep alive, even in the face of obstacles (or perceived obstacles) such as rejection, in order to get up every day and do the "work" of creation.
As a deadline driven person, it helps me stay inspired to have things such as TAXI listings or Harpo Library due dates. Also, my long term goal is to quit my day job and just being at my day job sometimes is enough to inspire me to keep my vision alive and to come home and write, even if I'm dog tired.
I'll stop here for now. This was just a little thought and hopefully it will motivate any readers out there to think about what keeps you inspired and pushing forward toward your goals.
One last thought: Enjoy the journey!
