Week 13: Impact II - Reading

I would have to agree with Kureishi. Whenever I sit down to write I think about what I want and what I wish was out there to see. That is always my starting point. The more excited I get about whatever I'm working on the more I want to know of it will excite other people and that is when I get input from others and "show it to an audience" aka my friends. If they like it I keep going and continue if they don't I shelve the idea. People enjoying your work and wanting more of it is always an extremely inspirational feeling and helps your creativity flow. When outside interest isn't there it's much harder to keep going simply for your own personal enjoyment.
