Finding the Source

Isolating a single source of creative inspiration isn't the easiest task, since there are always a large number of influential forces at play in one's mind. I try to recall the first feelings that tickle my brain when I become inspired by something. Usually these feelings are rooted in a basic love of some idea. As a child these ideas were probably best represented by the creativity I saw in books and movies. I enjoyed the idea of telling stories mostly. Stories can be told through books, movies, and music. The books of Dr. Seuss had an immense creative effect on me.
