Sometimes I sit down to write and I feel like I don’t have any great ideas right from the start. There’s no great inspiration or giant sized lightbulb the size of a hot air balloon hovering about my head. Honestly, if there was inspiration the size of a hot air balloon floating through my mind then I’d probably just freak out and then have to take a thirteen hour nap to recover.

I believe that being a writer is a choice as simple as the decision to work a job or choosing to have a joyful attitude. Writing can be a lot of work and it can also be a great deal of fun. Life can be a lot of fun and can also be a tremendous amount of work. Writers need not wait for inspiration lest they never pen anything…
