  • Where does inspiration come from?
  • Should we wait for the muse to speak?
  • Can we find inspiration?

When I think about inspiration, I consider those times when I had an "ah-ha" moment and suddenly just went with it. All of our experiences, the things we read, or have heard, come together to form a spark. And we can learn to prompt inspiration to come when we need it.

In this video, I offer ideas on how I come up with different ideas and explain why waiting for your muse to speak takes a bit of prompting.

I'm adding writing tips and new pulp fiction on my Patreon page, where I'm creating a community. I have a lot of writing stuff on my website and I'm building a resource on my Discord channel. Join me!
