Current Inspiration?

[ironicthird]

I feel as though everyone has little bouts of creativity sometimes. Call it poetic mania,

if you will. Is anyone currently on a creative high like that? And if so, what's your source

of inspiration? Whether it be a book, an artist, a genre, a fucking vibe even.

I still have all my tools and materials for building guitars, just haven't done anything for a few months now, but I will get back to it eventually.
I decided to learn Korean language, and it is considered one of the hardest to learn, but so far so good, not that I have learned enough but still, its interesting.
I watch a lot of Korean shows and movies and I have a basic understanding of some words that are used a lot, but nothing that is even close to conversational.
I think I might like to get back into doing some paintings or pictures using various mediums, been kinda having a abstract vision going on of a sort.
But then I have also been toying with the idea of writing again, so many weird and odd adventures in my life and just the oddities that seem to have surrounded it.
Kinda thinking of buying a better camera and taking pics again, maybe videos... I could document the oddities of living in a republican county up here in the great white north.

Mania is pretty much nails it. And it totally comes and goes. I recently burned myself out with two large creative projects and am still in recovery.

For writing poetry I depend on the cycles of inspiration from things like the Rattle Ekphrastic competition. Keeps me in the game.

I just moved into a new apartment and I’m definitely fucking vibing here lol, but haven’t gone through boxes yet and all of my crafty, artsy, million and one hobbies are somewhere in those boxes and I am restless wanting to do ALL of it but not having space to do ANY of it until I get a chance to go through some things.

But for me, as long as I’m in a decent mood then I generally stay on a creative high and just go between all of the different things. Music can be inspiring for me, and so can nature and just looking out a window. Or even other peoples’ creativity. Thinking about how cool theirs is, and what I might have done differently. So I like having other peoples’ art around, too, and appreciating everyone’s’ different styles and techniques, and different art forms.

But that’s mine. I noticed you didn’t mention yours?

Current low and I was a professional performing artist.

Burned out by trans and by life but it will change. Fuel has always been anger, being driven, love, feelings, fighting, making a difference with the art forms, helping others, exposing truth.

I may come back to it, might not. Haven't been feeling well for a long time.

I learned how to mod guitars from Ativan, and I like doing that, but haven't in a while, I play synths at night, do a bit of the discipline of dance stretches in the morning.

The candle is burning low, and there are medical concerns now. How much I don't know yet.

Most influential? Andrez Sczcewzeski of the Warsaw Mime theater, he did political mime before the iron curtain came down, I trained under him and still can't spell his name right.

There's others but it will start just calling attention to myself and I don't really want to do that. I was blessed with knowing a whole lot of people.

And Ativan got me into guitars and was always encouraging me.

Soon, very soon, I will stop working 16 hour days 7 days a week. It's been a tough 3 years.

An artist to listen to is Nomali Brennet, she wrote a lot of really good trans songs, folk pretty much, and impactful. Great lady.

But that's mine, and Yuki noticed you didn't mention yours? Wanna weigh in?
