The Secret To My Inspiration

Introduction

This week I have not found it easy to write and I was wondering why that was. I was even thinking that I might have to just give up writing. If I did, I am not sure what I would do, but on the train home today I was feeling quite despondent about it. I have just come back from a wonderful holiday so I should be full of ideas, shouldn't I?

So What Do I Need To Write?

I don't know if it was where I was staying, or the weather, or the fact I was writing on a laptop, or just not speaking to many Vocal friends.

Today I had a couple of long chats with my Muse, which has resulted in a poem to be written. and of course, every time we speak, my creative floodgates open.

Added to that I went out for a walk and ideas started to to come, as they usually do, and the fact that I am in my writing room means that I feel that I can write.

Here I can listen to music when I write and a copy of "The King Of Elfland's Daughter" had dropped through my letter box and it is a wonderful listen, especially the two Mary Hopkin songs including the album's closer "Beyond the Fields We Know"

I followed this with the album "Who I Am" by Beverley Knight and that helped me start writing this.

Conclusion

It seems that to write, the most important thing I need is inspiration from my Muse and that is like an unseen current that flows from her to me. Then I need to walk to let my mind wander. Next comes music, and that can be anything, but all these things come together allowing me to create my Vocal stories in my writing den.

Thank you for reading and I hope this has given you som Ideas.
