Writers’ block! I’m struggling to think of things to write about now. I had wondered whether 15 previous PG tips was the limit of my wisdom?! I don’t know if you sales guys have similar thing on the phone sometimes? (Not sure what the phone conversation equivalent is of writers block?!)
So while I realise what my ultimate inspiration is, I started thinking about other things that inspire me. A lot of you will probably be able to guess them by now: music, comedy, film, TV. I’d like to say books but my bookshelf at home is mostly taken up with DVDs, and the few books on there have only one or two creases in the spine as I’ve not managed to finish many of them.
When you think about it, the need for inspiration makes sense. How can you give out anything convincing when you’re not getting anything inspirational? I’ll give an analogy that I’m sure many of you lot will be able to appreciate! It’s like a pub… how can they keep serving beer without occasionally getting a delivery of a few kegs from their supplier?
So I’ve inadvertently landed on some advice. Go out and feed yourself on something that inspires you. Read a biography of someone you admire, catch up with family or friends that you love and respect, or maybe just go for a walk in some of the natural beauty spots that I know there are still plenty of in the UK. But don’t forget that if you’re going to gorge yourself on some inspiration you should probably give some back out to the people around you again.
Well the only thing I could think of this month that helped me come up with this was a comedy/music clip featuring the great Will Ferrell. (It might be a bit of an acquired taste but give it a go!)
