You Are The Inspiration

My close friends, the ones I regularly converse with, always notice something about my blog: some posts sounds very familiar.

It's no coincidence. If I have a particularly striking conversation with somebody, I will be aware of how great a blog post it would be, so I use it. I never copy word-for-word and hit post. I am either going to copy some text and elaborate, or I will borrow the idea and refer to the conversation and expand on it.

The reason I do this is that either the subject was one that I wanted to explore further, or that the conversation I had was so good that I thought that other people should be exposed to it.

The important note here is not about me. It's about you. You are the inspiration. Your words, your thoughts, or even your silent nods, they are what produce the thoughts that become my stories. Left to my own devices, not nearly as much would happen. More importantly, different things would have happened.

I thank you for your inspiration. I like the things I've done and the thoughts I've had, and I know they would not have happened without you.
