As a writer, do you think inspiration is necessary

As a writer, do you think inspiration is necessary in order to construct a story?
.
I love this question as it has two distinct parts: inspiration and construction.
.
First, is the concept of inspiration. Everything created was first an intangible idea before becoming something someone can hold in their hands. Such ideas derive from a spark of thought, an inspiration. “Inspiration” means that burst of brilliance, creativity, or mental catalyst to go do, creative, or build something. So, when drafting a story, the author first needs a spark of an idea for a potential story. Many authors have said that they get their ideas while out doing something else (other than writing) like jogging, walking, driving, or in J.K. Rowling’s case when riding a train.
.
Lastly, is the concept of construction. Once the inspiration muses give an idea to the writer, that is when the real work begins. “Construction” means to build something using the daily physical labor necessary to bring it to completion.
.
A question to ask the writer is if they are willing to do the necessary work (sometimes grueling) to bring that idea to fruition.

Creativity and artistry that is a step beyond.

✨Pictured with me is “Wonder Woman,” an incredible woman who had a vision for her two wheels, a theme she carries from paint colors to what she wears. And all that got me to thinking about what theme I would go with … dragon scales! If you’ve been following me or #rigoliandreeves, you know we write about dragons.
.
I tried painting scales on my denim jacket. It’s a start, but now I’m upgrading to embossing dragon scales on a leather jacket. 🐉 Pics will be coming soon!

Stuff that can make a character come to life, too. 😊 #authorslife #dailywriter #lifeofawriter #yawriterlife #twowheels #writersontwowheels #writerswhoride #writerlife #wonderwoman

It’s been a rough few weeks.
.
Grief along with medical things, plus new work responsibilities while still juggling life, can make a person bonkers and wonder when or how you’ll ever come back to writing.
.
Sometimes you just want to get away from it all, out on the road watching the sun dip into the horizon and feel the rush of the wind all around. It took me a while to get it, but I understand the love and lure of motorcycles. It is a sensory freeing experience like no other.
.
Out riding, I remember when and why I decided to be a writer. I try to remember to use all the emotions--the grief, sadness, and the struggle-- and use that power to make and create things like writing books (and painting scales on my jacket).

A writer friend (@maria.lopez.author) has amazing luck getting beautiful coffees made for her.
Although this beautiful design will fade away as the drink is consumed, that shouldn’t stop someone from creating it. Like building sand sculptures on the beach, sometimes making art is just in the making of it.
Art matters.

Happy Tux Day!
.
One of our writing companions is our large, Maine Coon-sized tuxedo cat, Bard, who barely fits on his perch. 🐱 However, watching him bask in the sunlight purring is a beautiful and relaxing experience.

Do you have a relaxing companion?
