Gathering inspiration is an integral part of the creative process. However, too much of it can weigh the creative down and even act as an excuse to avoid doing the work. Think of it like the accumulation of good, dry wood to make a fire. You fetch enough fuel to quench the thirst of the flames. But, eventually, you must kneel down on the cold, damp Earth and get your hands dirty birthing the fire. The creative process is the same way.
