One of the things that has always struck me is how inspiration can make you do things that you didn't think you could. It can make you put aside all the fears and anxieties and just go for it.
I'm sitting here writing the first episode of The Glue, and wondering why everything is flowing so easily today, because it wasn't yesterday, or the day before. I had been watching, or shall I say forced to watch a cheesy film on True Movies, and thinking to myself "Eeeee, this is not helping!", and then all of sudden this amazing piece of music appeared from nowhere, and I'm not even joking, I picked up my pen and started writing and couldn't stop. Was a little robotic of me and a tad bit bizarre, but I felt inspired and visualised a particular scene and couldn't put my pen down. I love that feeling! It's really liberating to ride on the wave of inspiration, especially when and where you do not expect it.
Nevertheless, the music ended and I continued to write, but wanted me some more musical inpiration. So I googled a song that I had heard on 'Remember Me' with Robert Pattison. It was really hard to find because I didn't know the name, and it wasn't on the soundtrack. But I persevered and stumbled across it on YouTube. Yay!!!. Unfortunately it was only a short track, so like the freak that one is, I kept playing it on loop...and minus the repetitive, tedious, monotonous task, I felt INSPIRED.
Here's the link to the song, but it may not ring your bell, or float your boat the way it did mine :)

When I was working on the intro stories earlier in the year, I always seemed to play 'Breather Me' by Sia,

which freakily is also one of the songs that was featured in the SAME film. I also used this when I was editing the episodes. I have no idea why I only edited to this song because it evokes a specific type of emotion, so the fact that I used it when writing Seth's Monologue, or editing a comical scene, was beyond me. But you know what. I was inspired!.
I've been so inspired by the people that I have met on this journey. The people that has been so selfless, funny, positive, creative, understanding, opinionated, open, supportive and everthing in between.
When you believe in something with every fibre of your being, it is indescribable, and when other people believe in it too, and express so much passion and creativity, there are just no words...apart from
"I AM INSPIRED!!!!"
