Inspiration comes and goes unpredictably from "summary" of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

Ideas are fickle creatures. They come and go as they please, without warning or explanation. Sometimes they arrive in a flurry of inspiration, flooding our minds with creativity and possibility. Other times, they seem to vanish into thin air, leaving us feeling lost and uninspired. In those moments of drought, when inspiration feels like a distant memory, it can be easy to become discouraged. We may question our abilities, our worthiness, or our purpose. We may wonder if we will ever feel that spark of creativity again. But here's the thing: inspiration is not a finite resource. It is not something that can be used up or depleted. It is a force of nature, flowing in and out of our lives in its own time and on its own terms. Our job is not to control or manipulate it, but to welcome it when it arrives, and to trust that it will return when we least expect it. So, when the well runs dry and the ideas refuse to come, we must not despair. We must have faith that inspiration is just around the corner, waiting for the right moment to make its grand entrance. We must keep showing up, keep doing the work, keep believing in the magic that lies within us. Because inspiration is not something we can force or manufacture. It is a gift, a blessing, a mystery. And while it may come and go unpredictably, one thing is certain: it will always find its way back to us, if only we have the patience and the courage to wait.
