Not for music, chatting, having coffee, or anything else - just for writing. You have to build this discipline, just like a runner has to build up to a marathon. Keep working at it. You will get there!(less)

How do you get inspired to write?

You cannot depend on the muse alighting on the tip of your pen and your mind being moved by God's creation.

That said, you can set up all the right things to be productive, and by doing so, create a space and time in which you feel inspired. Sometimes physical exercise helps. Sometimes reading others' works. Sometimes rewriting or editing the last thing I wrote yesterday. Whatever it is for you, find it and tap into it. Try new things. Keep working hard at it.(less)

Carl’s Quotes

“To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible. It is to feel shame at the sight of what seems to be unmerited misery. It is to take pride in a victory won by one's comrades. It is to feel, when setting one's stone, that one is contributing to the building of the world.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars
