Inspiration is overrated.
“Inspiration is overrated. I can’t be worried about whether I’m having a good day or a bad day. I look at the whole thing as kind of labor. If you’re gonna go down and build a brick wall, you need to go down and build a brick wall. It’ll never get built if you wait for the day that you actually feel like getting out the bricks and the mortar.”

Yeah, many people romanticize the idea of inspiration. And I used to be one of those people. But like I’ve said before, you’ve got to practice your craft pretty much everyday. And THEN, when inspiration DOES indeed hit, you’ll be totally prepared with the tools to take full advantage of it.

Nick Cave is brilliant. I’m sticking this on my bulletin board and I’m going to read it everyday I claim that I have writer’s block.
