Yeah there’s advice out there that says you’re not supposed to wait for motivation, you’re supposed push yourself to create and work with or without it but I don’t know if I subscribe to that! (Then again, I don’t yet have a finished novel or whatever specific success I imagine. BUT THEN AGAIN maybe those things aren’t the point of creating in the first place)
It’s amazing that you can wake up with that kind of inspiration! Up until now I literally had to force myself to get started (whether it’s writing or playing music) but after about 3 minutes you can’t stop me.
No problem typing it on the phone. I started my novel going up and down a very very long escalator in a shopping mall
Haha you definitely have get your work out where and when and how you can!
Those wake ups aren’t something I can rely on as a way to get things done although they are special. I don’t control when they come and it’s not always practical to wake up at 3-5 in the morning to start working on some fresh idea. I’d like to develop a better connection to something like what you have. Three minutes to lock in is pretty good!
Did you change the comment? I already replied to the old one 😆
I think it’s one size fits all. I have a program that makes me forget how much I love the process and too many years trying to change the world (and failing) so I get very stagnant if I don’t create some momentum. But then love of the process is real and I know that now so the momentum comes really quickly.
I kept kicking myself for not having an album of songs ready for years and then I started following my inspiration and found that i wanted to challenge myself to make some music videos
I get existential biweekly too, or even more. I’m wondering if there is something I can do about this or it’s just that I need to make art. I think the urge of making art comes as a rush of emotions and sudden feeling of confidence that I know what to say and how to say it 🌷
