Inspiration will not always find you, you have to go out in search of it much of the time. On rare occasion the creative muse will arrive at your doorstep and without even knocking she will come right on in and grace you with her seductive presence...She will stroll in as if she owns the place and with her and her only you will create magic. She will coax out of you the most beautiful combinations of words that will reach deep inside the hardest of souls and illicit a profound emotional response.

When you do it will be worth it, it may not pay the bills (mine pays nothing) it may not grant you are perfect life but it will give you something to live for. It will give you something to die for! Until that elusive and seductive bitch comes drifting make into town and onto your doorstep and into your...
