Memories. Ahhh Yes, Memories of My Life

How Do I Find Inspiration?

PROMPT July 7th

What do you do when you are out of inspiration or ideas?


         Wow, like I haven't been in this situation in recent weeks months. I know I write best when I'm relaxed, but it's been difficult to relax in recent months for a variety of reasons. So, I read. And read. And read. Did I mention I read a lot?

         Music helps me relax some too. You might think I'd choose something soft and gentle to relax my mind, but that's not the case. It all depends on my mood. Electric Light Orchestra is one of my go-to bands to listen to. But really, I'll listen to about anything really. Sorry all you younger folks, there's very little of today's music I listen to, but you never know. I like this song, especially this version. Their rendition of it is special, and no, it's not just the girls either. I just really enjoy the flow of it.

         Or if I'm looking for something with a bit more pepper (faster beat) in it...

         I know there are other things I could do, but I rarely get the chance anymore. So this is it, this is me.
