I found your post via the results listed by Joanna, and really enjoyed reading it. I thought one point in particular, humorous authors, was especially good -- we all face our own challenges which block inspiration, but laughter really is the best medicine. I enjoy all the personal development and business blogs I subscribe to, all the more 'serious' and 'intellectual' books and articles I follow... but every once in a while, I just need to sit down and read a truly funny story.

I like reading posts like this one, to see what inspires others. Your first three blocks to writing creativity are the same for me. I wish I could plan better, but planning ahead of time doesn't seem to be working for me, there's always something that comes up and spoils all the plans, so now I stopped planning, or planning with some extra flexibility. My biggest source of inspiration is my daughter, also reading - books, magazines. I really like house&home magazines - they are filled with beautiful sources of inspiration, and not just for our homes. inspirationbit's last blog post..Love And Hate Relationship With Digg & Reddit I know what you mean about magazines. I can't sit and read one if I'm at a doctor's office, or waiting room, because I get caught up looking at the pictures. Small children ARE good inspiration. Planning is a difficulty if I'm trying to be creative....but unexpected change throws me out of whack completely.

I knew you would have an interesting response to that challenge. I just didn’t have a response… I write when someone puts words or photos as a prompt or just because — I can’t say anything else inspires me – other than emotion, I suppose.

I can’t picture you museless at all, in my mind you never are lost for an idea… guess you cover it well.

I got this as an email a couple of days ago and immediately thought, "This would make a good blog article". It will get done eventually as family life has me swamped except for throwing up easy things at the moment. Jamie's last blog post..Think About History

I love this! I'm so glad you found me through Amy. She's one of my sources of inspiration, but like you I don't like to list just 4 blogs when so many people inspire me. My muse is a she too, most definitely, and knows her own mind. It's why I love her so. Thanks for taking part, I really enjoyed learning more about your creative mind Joanna Joanna Young's last blog post..How Intention Adds Fuel To The Writing Fire Amy's one of my sources, too, Joanna. Yes, those Muses just almost have to be female don't they? I look forward to seeing all the posts. I'll put links to them on my blog, so everyone can find them. Thanks again for hosting it!
