Gregory B. Sadler
I wouldn't say I'm ever "inspired" to write, any more than I'm ever "inspired" to shoot a video.
There's plenty of moments when some ideas grip me or constellate in my head, and i try to get them outlined or at least jotted down on paper -- but that's pretty fleeting -- not enough to sustain the work of writing, of thinking things out, of getting them set down in some sort of coherent fashion.
What I find I have to do is clear some time and space for myself, and then say: all right -- let's get down to work -- and see what I can get done in that time frame. Then, the next change I get, do it again. . . .
