Mainly my inspiration comes in spurts. Mostly it’s when someone doesn’t have the ability to write something for which they need help. That is when I become inspired to write it for them. I have always had a keen insight into people and the emotions they show me through the way they speak, their mannerisms and actions. I listen intently, I pick up on what they try to convey. Then I write it for them. They are always amazed at how spot on my words express their thoughts and feelings. I find it harder to do for myself as I write my memoir. Those things I can do for others vanish when trying to write my own expression from memories. Ask me to express how I love you though is the easiest inspiration I personally have and my writing is once an unstoppable cascade of words. It’s always been a strange phenomenon to me. And how having “muses” inspire my creativity. Thanks for posting Smalltalk #5.
I have to agree, writing memoir is incredibly difficult. There are so many memories and ideas and emotions we know belong on the page, but sitting down to write them can be near impossible at times.
