As for inspiration, I find stark fear of missing the deadline very inspiring.
I always look for inspiration. If I find something that's inspiring, I'm so excited because it is very hard to find something inspiring.
Inspiration is for amateurs. professionals work everyday. Personally the best inspiration is a deadline.
A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.
People don't need to find reasons to justify their not giving. What they need to find is the inspiration to give. And those who don't, but could afford to, are missing out on one of wealth's greatest luxuries.
There are people who literally cannot start a project until the deadline is four hours away, even if it's a big one. And those people have a serious problem. My recommendation is set up mini-deadlines. You might say, 'Okay, here's my deadline after three days for this and there's another deadline for that and then a third deadline.

The ultimate inspiration is the deadline.
I'm guessing the stress of having to write for a deadline can be inspiring. Sometimes, pressure is good.
A muse is something that serves a poet well early in his or her career. In later years one writers out of one's own driven inspiration. One learns to find inspiration rather than waiting for it to come for a visit. I can find inspiration almost anywhere.
Like all writers, my greatest inspiration, my ultimate muse, is a deadline.
There is a stark difference between fear and uncertainty, Sarai. You fear nothing but are uncertain of everything.
You wonder why your government's completely broken? We lurch from deadline to deadline, and it's on purpose really. We do deadline to deadline because ... 'we've got to go. It's spring break, we're going to be late for spring break, and we've got to go, so we've got to finish this up before we go.'
Heartbreak has definitely been a big inspiration for me. You can write about a bad situation and just feel so much better afterwards. For me it's very therapeutic. But love in general - even when it's good - is always very inspiring.
The very freedom and expressiveness we find missing in life we find present in art.
Inspiration without action is really entertainment. So while something can be very inspiring it is not transformative until you actually do something with it.
That's what we're missing. We're missing argument. We're missing debate. We're missing colloquy. We're missing all sorts of things. Instead, we're accepting.
