Absolutely Nothing
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Today, I read Ruskin Bond's Once Upon A Mountain Time, which left me inspired to write something. So, I took out my laptop, switched it on, opened a Word file, drank water from my bottle, got prepared to type.........and nothing.
That's it. Nothing.
I was blank.
I mean has there ever been a time in your life when you want to do something, you are bubbling with inspiration.......but you can't do anything? Nothing.
Do you know why that happens? It's probably 'cuz the human brain isn't a broken washing machine. You just can't hit it on the top to get it to work...
You need *thunder rolling in the background* INSPIRATION.
For example, this guy, Henry Derozio, saw a fakir( saint, I guess) meditating on a rock, and BOOM...he got inspired and wrote a poem THE FAKIR OF JUNGHEERA!
Also, another example, I was looking at my water bottle, and got inspired to write this!
My point is that inspiration comes in different forms for different people.......but looking at a blank page or screen? Umm.....nope I do not think there is any inspiration in that( unless you wanna write about the pixels on a laptop screen. I mean seriously what are those things.....anyways getting off-topic here).
I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't wait for inspiration to strike, it doesn't work that way. When does come, it'll do so on its own.
How was it? Awful? Bad? A dire waste of time?
Whatever it is, let me know...
