for some reason copywriter/headlines/generic/descriptive texts inspire my poetry. its something in the unique rules that they have in writing clauses.

i guess this applies to anything artsy but i think if you're actively creating something, it's easier to look at the world around you and take it not just for what it is, but as inspiration, too. i've found that when i go outside, i pay more attention to the sights, smells, sounds (basically all my senses) (excluding taste) (unless i'm eating) and try to put words to it and come up with new ideas. for example, one of my favorite not-that-bad lines i've written for a song was, "the misty air made drops in her hair like pearls on a string," and that's literally just because i saw it happen and worked with that visual info in my mind lol. so i think looking back on memories that inspired lines like that does make life a lot more whimsical :D

I've been incredibly inspired lately and I feel like I'm breaking a lot of new ground with poetry especially.

Basically, that ācathedrals are everywhereā thingā see a rec from Baby from a few days ago haha
To be receptive to this, I just have to work at creating things all the time whether I feel inspired or not. Inspiration wonāt strike, itāll seep in from everywhere as long as the practice doesnāt stop. Thereās so much to take from the seemingly mundane world that it can actually feel impossible to keep up with all the things I want to try to create.Ā
What excites me is the stuff I canāt explain, but could attempt to convey with art. Inspiration comes as a fragment of an idea that I canāt place or a feeling thatās too wide to grasp all at once. If I understand it instantly, if the idea is complete and I can name it, it might be nice but it is not interesting. If the feeling is open ended, then I can try to recreate that little mystery, like an experiment, or to complete it, and see where that brings me.Ā
I donāt think of the things and people I love as muses, but I guess Iām bound to notice more of what inspires me in the places I frequent the most and people I surround myself with. This is all really vague and rambling, but basically itās usually little things like the way light hits the branches of a favorite tree or the way someone just picked up a cup.

no one is bored, everything is boring. making time in your day to be decidedly bored, unoccupied, off your phone, wandering lousily, a tiny bit lazy, and creative is very refreshing.
