  SPEAKER_00: We say, I am just not feeling inspired today.

  SPEAKER_00: There might be a hundred reasons why we don't feel inspired on any particular day, but there's one way to correct that almost every single time.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Madeline Lingle gave us the secret of this when she said, inspiration usually comes during work rather than before it.

  SPEAKER_00: In other words, we have to get started working for inspiration to show up.

  SPEAKER_00: You know, inspiration is a sensitive, shy kind of fellow.

  SPEAKER_00: Inspiration is not rude and he doesn't like to show up unannounced.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's why he has to be invited into your process.

  SPEAKER_00: And the way that you invite inspiration into your process is to start writing.

  SPEAKER_00: So the next time you aren't feeling it, just get started, and inspiration will more than likely show up.
