Karen's Write On Contest * February 2, 2025
There's no set list of motivational things I can name because my inspirational impetus is never the same. Often, I'm encouraged to pick up my pen and write by celestial bodies glimmering upon me in the night. What moves me to choose canvas and brush to paint can be induced by flower, a child, there's no restraint when it comes to what triggers my mind as inspirations. It can be reading works of a Master Poet's compilations. There are no bounds that hold back my impulses to act. I'm easily prone to create from song lyrics. That's a fact. I'm prodded to cook after coming across a good recipe, maybe tweaking it with a bit of this or that to satisfy me. I'm an artist at heart, finding inspiration in everything... sunrise, butterflies, my senses honed by birds that sing. I'm stirred by many touchstones that spur my imagination. Remaining open-minded is a great source of stimulation. I've been inspired by compliments and even disrespect. They serve as catalysts, like an inspirational architect that lead me to find new provocation; a spark to ignite the fire of creativity within me to rise up and take flight.
