I'm one of those people who isn't just creative in one aspect of their lives. So when i get a splash of inspiration hit me suddenly i can handle it by channeling it into something- it usually emerges in written form but the last few days haven't really been splashes...more like tidal waves that smack me in the face and knock me off my feet at the most inopportune times
I dunno if anyone else has this problem- but when i get smacked in the face by inspiration it's almost like i can't handle it because i don't know what ( and i'm not trying to sound uppity here) essence of creativity to channel it through. I end up wanting to write on it, sing about it, draw to it, paint to it, picture it, capture it however i can for fear of it disappearing as abruptly as it came along. And when you try and do all of the above at the same time...well- things get messy.
Basically inspiration is much like a pokemon. You spend forever looking for it, either on foot or by bike (if you can afford one) and then after a while, when you do find it, usually hidden in long grass amongst other pieces of inspiration you've already found countless times you know it's there and it was worth the wait- and you know you've gotta catch it efficiently, in the right way so that it can't escape you. Then when you find the right medium to catch it with you can keep it for yourself, give it a name, give it a meaning and then use it to battle the opposing gym members squirtle's with.
What i'm trying to say is that i'm feeling very creative right now, and struggling to express it properly. which is probably best demonstrated by that appalling pokemon themed metaphor, but hey- that's just how i roll ^^
xXx
