Does that mean you should give up before you even start?

Of course not.

Inspiration is more than just a sudden burst of good ideas.

It's a state of mind where ideas and possibilities seem to flow with ease and you're unafraid of trying something new.

It's the ideal headspace that writers love to be in, but inspiration is not always easy.

For one, it could be tricky to get in that inspired state of mind, and you can't wait for random bursts of ideas if you want to write on a consistent basis.

Otherwise, you may spend hours staring at a blank page, afraid to make a single move.

The solution is to hunt inspiration down yourself, whether it's a business email, an essay for school or that novel you've always had in the back of your head.

Follow the words of author Louis Lamour.

Start writing no matter what.

The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.

So start writing.

Begin your pursuit right, whether you have an idea already in mind or just a vague feeling that you want to explore, get down every thought in possibility that comes to mind, Then ask questions to develop them further, Follow the principle of right now.

Edit later.

That means you don't worry about missed aches or saying too much are not having every detail ready at this point.

Instead, concentrate on getting your writing brain active and finding the heart of your message.

Remember, it does not have to be gold Right now.

Your first draft is the place to try any idea you want.

Try to ignore the fear of writing something bad or boring.

You can dive into the editing process later when the first draft is done and you have a better understanding of the bigger picture.

The more you pursue inspiration, the more often you'll find it, even when you're not writing.

If you get stuck, get up and do something easy, like going for a walk.

This will give your writing brain a chance to think over the problem in the background, which could lead to another round of inspired.

But another great way to pursue inspiration is to establish a writing routine, whether it's writing 500 words a day, writing early in the morning or scribbling on a legal pad.

Whatever method helps the words flow.

Do it.

When you make writing a regular part of your life, your chances of finding inspiration will increase, much like how exercising regularly will get you physically fit.

Writing on a consistent basis will train your brain to seek out inspiration and to crash through the fear of a blank page.

But no matter how much you love it, writing is still hard work.

It will take time and effort to make something worthwhile, and you may sit there wondering what to do next for a while.

But don't give up, keep pushing, keep experimenting, keep writing and go after inspiration with all of your mind.
