On making magic

From the Inspirational Thought Unit

Last week a friend of mine was writing a screenplay and having a rough day with it. He barely made a dent in it all day. Some days the sun rises and sets and the only progress you've made on your project was just thinking about it. We lamented to each other about how hard it is to be creative sometimes.

Then I said this to him:

"You know this already, but creating something from nothing is legit magic and writers have to do it everyday. So don’t feel bad that it’s actually hard some days."

I extend that same message to anyone who creates, not just writers.

The greatest event in history was when space, time, and matter all exploded onto the scene from nothing. Scientists are still trying to unlock that mystery and, as far as our instruments can detect, it's only happened once.

But in a way, it also happens every time you sit down to the drawing board and conjure up something where there was nothing.

Don't feel bad if it's actually hard some days.
