Coming in September…a new challenge.

“Most of life is routine – dull and grubby, but routine is the momentum that keeps a man going. If you wait for inspiration you’ll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street.” -Ben Nicholas

“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.” -Frank Tibolt

“Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning.” -Igor Stravinsky

“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.” -Jack London

“Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration.” -Rudolf Nureyev

*cue epic music*

I will take the last weeks of August to enjoy being a schlump, and then I will begin my quest for inspiration through persperation.  Anyone care to join me?

Addendum:  And whilst we’re waxing philosophical, a group of articles to read through and ponder…have I fallen into this trap?  Have you?
