You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
Blah! That really doesn't help!

Today I have no idea what to write about in my journal, which, in itself is unusual! I alwys have something to say, I'm a very vocal pixie (as you may have noticed!)
It's not that I don't have anything to write about, but I'm starting to bore myself with my loved up entries! And if I'm boring me then I must be boring you!
It was so much easier to rant when my life was all messy!

Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by orginality, overcomes everything.
Except, it would seem, writers block.
This is why I never bothered writing.
Painting is another matter entirely, as an artist I've become well aquainted with artist block, but it's easy to just sit and doodle until you think of something to draw. Or grab a lump of clay and splat it about a bit and it soon turns into something.
It's almost like art has a life of its own and even if you can't think what to make if you just get on with it it just falls out of the end of your fingers.
This writing malarkey is HARD!

We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.
So that's why I'm writing this. I was hoping it would generate some inspiration for things for me to rant about tomorrow!
And it has!

Lookie! A flash of inspiration!</center>
It's a shame you can't put polls in these journals, then every day I could stick up a poll and my lovely readers could vote for the rant of the day!
Challenge Pixie Stylie!
Well as there are no polls I'll just have to rely on the fact that someone might have read this far and give me some suggestions for tomorrow!
Any ideas anyone?!?!?
