This reading assignment is about Inspiration.
It very much reminds me of the TED video, with Elizabeth Gorden on Genius. Though inspiration isn't an act of genius, at least, not just so, I think there really is something that draws and pushes you into writing-- drawing-- making something. It's the beginning, as Aspelund says. It's would be easy to drown in it, as it's fresh and new, (just as easy as it would be to lose it).
Everything starts from inspiration. Something has to spark you into making something, right? And there are different views on inspiration-- otherworldly possession or maybe something that just appears in your mind that pushes you beyond your limits which is amazing. Everyday things can spark it-- I mean, seeing a spoon, and then maybe... maybe you want to make a sculpture out of spoons? O uO
While I've never actually done that, I've felt inspiration literally nipping at my heels. Sometimes I'm lying in bed and suddenly, I want to draw something amazing. Sad thing is, it usually pops up in the wee hours of the morning or at night when I'm not allowed to access my trusted computer. Q nQ
