"The thing about INSPIRATION is you can't wait for it to come up and lay its head on your lap like a unicorn. 

That is the myth of inspiration. You have to muster up and hunt it like the wild fey thing it is. 

It only comes at me when i am racing after it full tilt in the misty moonless darkness, praying i am not running towards the edge of or into the face of a cliff. 

It takes faith and courage and energy and sheer madeness to catch it, and even then, it will kiss you and slip away when the mood takes it because you can never own something that wild and beautiful."
