    There is no level to come down to. Just ways that things are done here on akaQA for good reasons. Replying directly to a member allows for them to get a notification that you replied. It also keeps a conversation between members in one place. The add new answer box is for people to use when answering your question. That's why it called an answer box. If you need to comment to your own question, then you use this blue area.

      Your mind creates a thought and positive thought creates motivation.

        Inspiration.  First.


        Motivation ... second, because of the inspiration and then ... 


        Thought ... third... Because thought has to be applied in order to bring the inspiration to fruition.


        Keep in mind that this is an artist's perspective.  I follow no logical path because that would take away from being open for inspiration ... for me ... personally.  I get ideas and ispiration even in my dreams.

          Several writer's over the years were inspired by their dreams and they wrote their books based on them I think Stephen King might have used this method for some of his Books

                      I want to learn to use my new computer (a thought) I make plans for taking lessons. I buy a book. I make a list of what I want to learn first. (MOTIVATION)
