One aspect of Al’s comment is that the creative urge comes when it comes – you can’t force it. This is, of course, the problem with “creating” against a deadline.
Equally important he observes that when the urge comes, you can’t ignore it.
I find ignoring my creative impulses to be all too easy!
One of the many benefits of having a lazy Muse, I suppose, and being a technician rather than an artist.
Read something somewhere, and it’s really affected the way I view my writing. It went something along the lines of: Do musicians wait until their inspired to practice? No, of course not, because if they did they’d never get anywhere. It doesn’t matter if you’re inspired or not, WRITE (or in Randie’s case, draw) SOMETHING. Doesn’t matter if it’s no good, doesn’t matter if you don’t feel like it, do it. You have to practice your art. If you don’t, you won’t have the skills to capture inspiration when it does strike.
