Inspiration

I'm in the zone again...Writing, thinking, re-writing, etc...It seems like an endless process, but after it's finished, I feel a great sense of accomplishment and relief. To become more inspired, I go to a museum or a theatre piece, or listen to an opera. Somewhere, somehow, I catch a spark of inspiration  and it helps me back to the beginning again...Allowing the process helps in completing it. Getting it out of your body onto a page. It is not as immediate as taking a photograph, but by the end of it, there's a diamond. Whether rough or soft, it's the work, and one needs to respect it. Good or bad.
