Late Night Writing

Whichever day of the week it may be, once the sun has dunked its head into the horizon and the night takes hold, my will to write becomes stronger.

My imagination becomes more vivid and my thoughts become clearer. I'm not saying I can't and won't write during the day, ofcourse this is the case. However it all seems to fit together better under the metaphorical sheet of darkness that night brings, or perhaps the more real duvet.

Why is this? Is it because the internal bodyclock is trying to relax and therefore the thoughts of the day have dwindled away, leaving room for new ideas. Although the silence and calm can also lend well, especially when in a busy home.

Whatever the reason, if writing at night does anything, it eventually sends you off to sleep and if your lucky, some rather interesting dreams!

What Is A Hero?

What defines a hero? Is it somebody who has done something significant for mankind? Perhaps somebody who has led in their field of expertise or achieved a great feat, or is it somebody in your personal life? Maybe all of the above.

Whatever your personal opinion may be, a hero can be defined rather differently, sometimes entirely differently, dependant on your own perspective.

Personally, i think a hero cannot be defined in mere words and is more something determined on a very personal level.

For instance, a hero to one person may be a sporting personality (to which I cannot relate), whereby a hero to others could be a leading business mind, historical character, relative or soldier maybe. The list is endless.

Your Preferred Public Writing Hub.

Not all of us have one, some of us only choose to write within the walls of our own homes. There is, however, advantages to writing in a public place.

Not only does it give us new inspiration, as we see life going on all about us. We can also find inspiration in the sounds, smells and characters we may find. It can create added focus and renewed excitement to your writing.

Do you have your own public writing hub, are you that person with the laptop or pen and paper at your local coffee shop?

Perhaps it's Starbucks or Costa perhaps? Maybe it's a quaint little coffee shop or local bookstore around the corner. Either way, it's very much worthwhile, especially if suffering from a lack of new ideas.

Finding Inspiration..

Where do you find your inspiration?

Well you could view it in one of two ways:

- Inspiration can be hard to find as the majority of us now continually work day in and day out, living for the weekend, and even then it depends on our finances.

- Inspiration is easy to find, with the modern comforts like the Internet and television, as well as the fact that inspiration doesn't have to come from going afar, a small walk around your local block may be enough to inspire.

Ultimately, are we becoming less inspired these days and more likely to just to join the heard and lose our originality, especially with the mundane onslaught of daily life and how this can become more of a routine and less of an adventure.

Personally, life is what you make it and it is down to us to inspire ourselves and live it to its best. Life has its moments, but why not make them great moments.
