It’s no secret that inspiration has a will of its own

It’s no secret that inspiration has a will of its own.

It always seems to hit us at the most awkward possible time, often right when we’re in the middle of something. We must be willing to surrender to inspiration when it comes calling. That might mean dropping what we’re doing and changing plans at the last minute.
