As a writer, inspiration is very important to me. Without it, I do not get any ideas and I can’t proceed with any new projects.
What I’ve found is that I receive much more inspiration when I stop chasing ideas and just let them develop naturally. When I open myself up, ideas just flow through me as if I’m tuned into some sort of cosmic radio station, tapping into a wealth of inspiration. When I’m connected like this – when I’m in “the zone” as some people call it – stories grow and mature all by themselves!
Some ideas develop more quickly than others. Some form overnight while others take a while to ferment before they grow legs and spring to life. What’s important is that you don’t push an idea until it is ready to enter the world.
The wonderful thing is that all of us have an imagination. All of us can receive creative ideas and get inspired. So I would urge you all to have fun with this mighty gift and push the boundaries of what what you can create! Keep your creative juices fueled by reading books, watching films or whatever else gets you inspired!

That is so true… Everything can be a source of inspiration; even the slightest trigger can be enough for an entire plot to develop in our minds. We shouldn’t search for that source, though; instead, we should let it come to us naturally. It is almost impossible to force out a great idea.
