02-08-2016: Overwhelmed by Inspiration

I’ve been meaning to write another one of these for a week, but my days haven’t been too eventful. No interesting thoughts have come to my mind either.

Interestingly enough, I originally intended to write these every day. Had I stuck to that plan, this would already be nearing completion. But at some point, my interest in doing this so regularly saw a sudden drop, and since then, these have been less plentiful but, in a sense, more inspired at the same time.

Being an artistic person, inspiration is something that comes to me all the time. And I mean all the time. Whether it’s a mental visualization of a movie scene or a musical cue, ideas keep popping into my head - seemingly out of nowhere for the most part. If only I had the time and talent to make all of those ideas a reality.

As fun as inspiration is as a concept, the sheer amount of it can (and does) get overwhelming to me. I have half a dozen different ideas for video games, which is enough as it is, but add to that a hazy cloud of musical ideas and another hazy cloud of ideas for movie scenes and you can only imagine how overwhelmed I am.

If someone invented a machine that would grab your ideas and interpret and realize them in real time, I’d fucking use that thing constantly. Hell, I’d buy the company that invented it.
