| 1. inspiration comes in many forms, not always in relation to art |
|
it may arrive as a inspiration for a new toy... inspiration for a new adventure in art can be derived from many outside circumstances and influences, sometimes these influences are arrived at by many (including mentioned above) actions and happenings even non-happenings... the point is anything can bring about inspiration, the artist is actually waiting for the moment of "a-ha" to arrive when the moments described through language create the named "inspiration"... happy "a-ha-ing!".

| 2. WRONG! The answer is 'laziness'! |

Sorry, channeling John McLaughlin for a moment. Though if Pat Buchanan wants to comment, he's welcome.

If you're waiting for inspiration to come up and hit you on the head, you'll be waiting all day. That's not to say that inspiration is not a necessary thing. Just that one can be more pro-active and go out seeking it instead of waiting for it.
If you're waiting for inspiration, you're just being lazy. :)
