Inspiration Particle

Some have asked where APR gets all of APR’s ideas from…

Well it’s simple.

APR is a giant magnet for inspiration particles.

What, what, what? What’s an inspiration particle?

Terry Pratchett in his Discworld books defined Inspiration Particles as:

"Particles of raw inspiration sleet through the universe all the time. Every once in a while one of them hits a receptive mind, which then invents DNA or the flute sonata form or a way of making light bulbs wear out in half the time. But most of them miss. Most people go through their lives without being hit by even one.”

Who’s Terry Pratchett?

Well the reason most people haven’t heard of Terry Pratchett is because he is the #2 most popular living writing from the UK today, right behind JK Rowlings.

No wonder most people don't know about Terry Pratchett, just like Buzz Aldrin.

Who? Come on people! Buzz Aldrin was the second man on the moon… I know second means first loser but at lease Buzz has a cool nickname.

APR would say something about the JK Rowlings and her books but can’t because APR hasn’t read any of the great literary masterpieces about the adventures of a young wizard who had to deal with adolescent life and the use of magic in both a magical and non-magical world in the UK. You know the Books of Magic comic books series.

What, What, What?

That’s not what Rowlings wrote? Are you sure? Because Books of Magic is about a skinny black haired orphaned kid with thick rimmed glasses from the UK who has a pet owl and will become the greatest wizard ever.

No Rowlings wrote about another skinny black haired orphaned kid with thick rimmed glasses from the UK who has a pet owl and will become the greatest wizard ever.

Here’s a picture…

Oh APR gets it, Books of Magic came out in 1990 and Rowlings series came out in 1997. APR can see how someone might mistake the two.

Maybe Rowlings was hit by a random inspiration particle called Books of Magic before she wrote her series.

Oh well…

Back to APR…

APR feels that somehow APR gets hits with more random inspiration particles then the usual person.

Sadly these inspiration particles are just random thought with no coherent meaning.

Like the last several sentences of ramblings APR just wrote, APR jumps between multiple references and discussion points that it’s hard to follow. And if you ever talk to APR in person you will realize too that APR cannot hold one train of though before switching to another.

So to answer your question, APR ideas are random and may not make send in any frame of reference.

So enjoy...
