I’m in a writing mood, so I need something to write about but I just don’t know what! I wish I could think of something satirical to write but nothing comes to mind. It makes me wonder how comedic writers write things that are just so funny? Where do they get their muse? How exactly do things influence them in the way they write? I remember there was a time – it was my hot streak – where I pretty much posting everyday and what I was writing actually was funny because it garnered some positive comments. I really liked what I was doing back then, because what I was writing, I really enjoyed reading myself, not to mention making other people laugh.
I think I am more of a creative person because I have “experimented” in a lot of the creative arts. There was a time where I was so addicted to drawing. I couldn’t stop doing it and my free time it would be spent drawing. I eventually lost interest in it. Having actually done art in school, I then moved on to a bit of graphics design and there was definitely improvement in what I was doing, but I also lost interest in that. I like myself to be well presented, and like to tell people that I am well presented with clothes. So I make a conscious effort to make sure that what I’m wearing works. I’m not the kind of person that will wake up one morning and think to myself I’ll just put on a shirt and a pair of jeans today.
I also remember a time where I was also really into writing (during the same time I was into drawing). I just loved writing short stories, because when you’re young, anything goes. Imagination is like a drug when you’re young. And there’s an endless supply of it. It was only a year when I started writing this blog that I started to get into satirical writing. Though it soon became tiresome because looking for something funny to write about is hard.
It’s very much the same with music. I think I have lots of potential, in writing music, recording it, performing it and just being a really awesome musician in general. Though I always come across the same situation as with writing: there’s always this roadblock.
Okay, after typing all that out, I think my ultimate question is about muse: how the fuck do creative types access it?
