Sometimes the best inspiration is hiding in plain sight—an old notebook, a half-written idea, or a stack of books in the corner. Sometimes inspiration is found in the mess. In this episode of Create For No Reason, I dive into a little creative spring cleaning. While clearing out my office, I rediscovered lost resources, revisited lessons from Joyce Carol Oates and Austin Kleon, and even shared a poem inspired by an old story.

Whether you're feeling creatively stuck or just need a little nudge to revisit unfinished work, this episode is an invitation to find inspiration in your home.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• A powerful writing tip from Joyce Carol Oates
• How revisiting old materials can reignite your creative spark
