My question, as yall are probably able to guess, is what do you guys
do to obtain inspiration? We all know sitting mindless behind our
overly cool macs, most of the time doesn't inspire, but then, what
does?
I figure there are three inspiring drives. First, scratching an itch.
Second, making moolah. Third, community service.
Scratching an itch kind of inspires itself. Making money is less of an
inspiration than a motivation; the inspiration comes in realizing an
untapped market. As for community service -- that is, writing something
because it needs to be written, not because you have an itch to scratch
-- it may be the least motivating, but it is easy to know what to work
on; just say "hey, what sucks or is missing? I'll try to fix it," and
the ideas will come rolling in.
