Sometimes Inspiration Just Comes to You

Tweet

Even when you are not looking for it. I mean, I write outside of here of course. In fact, in several places. And I have been doing it for a very long time. Not to say I am good at writing. But I am good enough at it. I like to at least think I do well enough at it. And as such, you build an audience. When people like what you have to say and how you say it? They kind of gravitate towards you. Writing and building an audience is really about how you tell the story or relate the idea. It's your perspective and your unique way of presenting things that drives in the traffic and makes them want to come back for more. In those venues I mostly write non-fiction. I talk about money and politics and current events, among other things of course. Being that's the content I write, it's not hard to find something that inspires you to write about. The world is my oyster, right? And gosh, there's so much fodder. Because when you write about money and politics and current events, there's just so much laid right in your lap to write about. That's to say the least. That's not to say it always comes easy. Of course, writing is a bit of work. And some days it is harder than others. Some days you just don't feel like talking. But then, sometimes something happens that strikes you. A news story, an event, an untoward moment, an observation and voila! It happens. Something to write about. I was able to write a new blog today and it was nice. Because that well was a bit dry for the last week or so if I am being honest. Oh, I had written other things in other places. But that blog? It was a bit dead for about a week. I just didn't have the needed inspiration to add a new installment. Inspiration sometimes comes right at you. Like a bar of gold. Like a revelation of sorts. And you go with it. You never look a gift horse in the mouth, and you never turn down an opportunity to write something when it presents itself. You just go with it. And it is very comforting and rewarding. I always thank my fodder. I am always very appreciative of it. Without it, how in the world could I ever do what I do and make a little money at the same time doing it?
