What Value Does Writing From Joy Bring? How Do We Bring Creativity From A Wholesome Place?

What Value Does Writing From Joy Bring? How Do We Bring Creativity From A Wholesome Place?

    Ordinarily I am inspired, to write, take photographs, create. Sometimes I feel I am like the telephone waiting to ring, watching the receiver impatienty: “Ring damn it!”. The telephone never rings when I will it to. It only rings when I am focused on other things, distracted, much like inspiration and creativity.
