What is inspiration
Inspiration can be defined in many ways. The Free Dictionary defines it as a "stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity, a product of your creative thinking and work." According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative." These definitions relate directly to the state of mind we need to be in to stay relevant as writers/bloggers. I have asked this question many times and you've probably done the same. In the midst of the highs and lows, how do I stay inspired?

"Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain"- the prayer of Jabez (1st Chronicles 4:9-10).
