The formula for accomplishing anything is to be consistent. I follow this formula in many areas of my life, but I can’t seem to be consistent with creativity or ideas. These are whimsical things. While I wait for the little muse to visit, I work on fundamentals like writing good sentences, even if the subject matter is a Sunday school lesson or a little blog post. Creativity may be stop and go, but I try to nurture my skills and devote consistent time to support it.
I like this quote,
Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.
-Pablo Picasso
