“For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don’t just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.” ~ Sean Lennon
This reminds me of a friend of mine. She’s a children’s author. A writer. She writes every day. Whether there are ideas or no ideas, she writes. She doesn’t wait for inspiration.
Sometimes you just have to go for it. The ideas will come.

Dear Bliary 
Beautiful quote!!!
Thanks, Cee. Love the Lennons. 🙂
What a great attitude your friend has, Gemma. Love the quote. Maybe I should try my hand at song writing. 😕
Go for it, ad. I’ll be here waiting to hear it. And I’m betting it will be fabulous! 🙂
same with painting, just have to start with a brush in your hand 🙂
😉
You’ve got the knack!
Yes, sometimes you have to go for it – but sometimes its very hard work!!! Love the photo – and the Lennons too! Hope you’re good! ATP xxx
I don’t know if I have what it takes to go for it. Hard work? YIKES!
I’m doing well, Adrian. Thanks.
I love the way you married these together Gemma
Thanks, Jo. Lennons have always been an inspiration. 😉
Gah! This is about me! Thank you! I am a big believer in the AiC Technique. (Ass in Chair). Who knew Sean Lennon thinks like me?? Why am I not a millionaire?
Yes it’s about you! If I could be inspired, it would be by you. 😉 but alas… I am still searching. 😦
Lennon? It’s who you know. But I know you’ll get book two real soon. Soon as the right people spot your stuff.
Where are these “right people” you speak of? They should get their AiCs. Slackers…
I swear. If I knew I’d point them in your direction. They don’t know what they’re missing.
Yes, this seems to be true of the writers I know, Gem 🙂 Love the keyboard shots.
Now. If I could just play that thing! LOL
Thanks, Jo. xxx
I love the piano key shot… what a wonderful perspective. My post is a very similar theme… but using a quote by Picasso. Very nice!
Thanks, FireBonnet. (Very appropro-FB)
😉
I’ll stop by…
Ugh! Couldn’t get to you. Sorry. Would like to have seen your blog post. I’ll try going to Ese’s.
Is that your piano? Do you play?
No. It belongs to one of the boys I watch. I’ve tried (and failed) at piano, guitar, mandolin, accordian – not my idea!, I have a problem with trying to learn music. I just want to KNOW things. I’m not disciplined enough to learn them the right way! Hence, my camera issue. I don’t know an ISO from a UFO.
So but it on manual and shoot!
Okey dokey 😉
OMG..PUT not but! lol Automatic not manual. Geez..time to get off here and enjoy this spring day before it snows again! Have a good one
LOL
It’s all good. Enjoy!
I mean automatic…lol
Yup. Understood. I think. Duh! 😉
They sing together – the photo and the quote! So much truth in it…maybe if one always waits for inspiration to come to do something, might end up waiting and never completing a single thing.
Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong. Thanks, Ese. I’m glad it sang to you. xxx
