How to find inspiration!

There was a time when I believed that writing is easy, not in the sense that any one can do it but in the sense that it can be done anytime. Unfortunately I have been brought face to face with the harsh reality that writing is not only momentous in nature but also very hard to capture. I've been wanting to write for a long time now but find it utterly exhausting to do so. And I have no clue why this is happening now at this time after I have held the idea of spontaneous writing for quite some time. Well now that I am stuck here in this land of no inspiration I feel its my duty to warn all those who believe writing to be an awesome piece of chocolate cake. It is after weeks of serious consideration and deep thought that I have come to the decision that I will look for a muse for the first time in my life since any kind of inner inspiration is clearly avoiding me. A muse can be a welcome change in the monotonous life of self reflection. But how do I decide who or what will be my muse? How does anyone? Its tedious for sure! 

But again after careful discussion with the inner self (self reflection at its best) I have reached the conclusion that a living being will be a good muse. Inanimate objects can only be exaggerated so much. And human beings are very vibrant in their emotions and reactions so I believe they won't let me down. But now the question arises on WHO? I can conveniently choose a friend who I think is interesting and shows traits that are intriguing or I can go for some stranger who I can observe without seeming to be a stalker.  Then there is also a third option of an acquaintance, where I'm safe from the assumption of being a stalker and also have a level of familiarity that adds to the observations. Well I have decided an acquaintance it is. 

Now who I choose I can not reveal as it will be my very big and very secret secret! Only thing to do now is to sit back and observe and  hope that my pen which loathed at the idea of scratching the paper will somehow get over its problems and  cooperate with my mind if and when the genius strikes. Hope, is what keeps me going now and hope I will that I can soon bring forth the result of this new muse to be.
