"One gets into a state of creativity by conscious work."

I have heard many want-to-be writers and artists say they are waiting for the creative inspiration. They can only write or draw when they are inspired. Unfortunately, that is not the real world. If we wait for our muse to come, she may never arrive. The key to finding your inspiration and creativity is to work every day. Maybe it is for a half hour or an hour, but one must work. And you might feel that what you did was terrible. But let it sit and come back to it later and you will see it in a different light. Creativity is a process. To produce great work, one must produce junk.
