Inspiration Disappears in an Instant

00:01 Something really struck me today:

00:03 whenever I get an idea for my writing,

00:09 I need to capture it as soon as possible,

00:13 even if that means recording it by voice.

00:20 A few days ago, I'd already worked out

00:24 how to write my next article.

00:27 I'd even gathered the material.

00:29 But then,

00:31 work became so busy

00:35 that I had almost no time

00:39 to write the article.

00:40 By the time I'd finished all my work

00:43 and I revisited what I wanted to write,

00:47 the inspiration I'd had

00:50 seemed to have flown away.

00:52 I could no longer feel

00:54 the feeling of wanting to write it then.

00:58 Nor could I feel

01:02 that sense of flow.

01:05 I don't know whether other people,

01:07 when they're especially inspired

01:10 and really want to write something,

01:15 have experienced this feeling.

01:18 If they have, they'll know

01:20 that when we feel

01:21 we're about to write an article,

01:27 there's a sense of ease,

01:30 of naturalness,

01:32 something that flows like water.

01:36 But simply because too much time passed,

01:40 all those feelings became diluted.

01:48 Of course,

01:49 I can immerse myself in that material

01:53 and try to recapture the inspiration.

01:56 But no matter what,

01:58 it won't feel the same as it did at first.
