The Inspiration to Write

I usually write early in the morning. I think it’s my inspiration hour. I was recently thinking why do I not write as much as I used to earlier. I think it’s because I do not get the luxury of quiet and peaceful mornings anymore. My recent obsession for working out first thing in the morning leaves me no time to even “breathe mindfully” before I have to get ready for work. I was also recently googling about a peaceful place to read and write, and I came across a wonderful unexplored town somewhere in the North-East. And then, I scrolled through all its pictures. That valley, that lake, that green shade beneath, that blue shade above. How can someone not get inspired to become a writer being surrounded with that place. Someone might have already gone there and read so many books (just like Elio in “Call Me By Your Name” used to do in his sacred little place). Someone might have started there, and must have already become a successful published writer. Or someone may have found inspiration for something other than writing in that beauty. I, on the other hand, having done all this research at my work, had to do extra hours to complete my work later which led to a grumpy mood and no inspiration at all. By the way, I am listening to a beautiful track while writing all this, and it is enabling such smooth flow of words really, I think it’s my new favourite writing number. The irony is, I had listened to this in a night club first time on a Friday night, and I shazamed it to add it to my playlist of those songs which I play at home in ‘club’ mode on weekend evenings to compensate for my no-outing-plan-friday-nights in an unsuccessful attempt to give myself the night club feel. Nevertheless, most of those nights end up with a Swiggy ordered bento box of hakka noodles and my tears ending up at the fork (almost wrote chopsticks to sound sophisticated). I am also taking some inspiration from the classic books which after reading way too many, I tried to switch for the non-fiction ones or the self help ones. However, I soon realized that they were not my cup of tea. Honestly, sentences like “you’ve got this” or “don’t worry be happy” don’t inspire me. What does is a coming-of-age story, a relatable character development, colourful side characters, and an interesting place where the main character lives (like Hogwarts or Thornfield hall). In short something like Harry Potter or Jane Eyre. Speaking of Jane Eyre, I am currently reading another one of Bronte’s classic and yes, it is speaking to me. There is something about Victorian era which does not exist elsewhere. So many random pieces which I am picking in order to get the so called inspiration which will lead to God knows where. But now that I am so inspired already, I have a few things in my mind for my next few writings, but I also know that none of them are gonna work out. Why, because I don’t write based on subjects, I don’t write fictions, and I definitely don’t do self help (as of now), I write based on experiences. And I’ve already shoved all my so called ‘happening’ recent experiences in this article/story or whatever. Hence, I really need to do something ‘inspiring’ before this day ends (today is Sunday, btw) or before someone kills me for using the word ‘inspiring’ one more time, else I am gonna keep complaining about the rushed mornings for the next few months and end up writing something gibberish like this about not being able to write much. See ya.
