[stylist] Moving

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Lynda with a Y, grin,

I'm never at a loss for ideas to write about. I agree that whenever
inspiration hits, we have some way in which to, at the very least, jot
down our thoughts.

Personally, I want to keep "ideas" in my head and watch things play out
like watching a movie. I do this even when writing. I'll sit back and
envision a scene in my head before actually writing it.

Even recording notes on a device with that capability is another way to
jot thoughts down if not in a situation where you can write.

Inspiration isn't something that hits everyday, but I find that if I
work through the times I do have that inspiration, it's easier to revise
and add to that initial inspiration. There's something to the
physicality connected to artistic expressions. They do in deed go
hand-in-hand.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Move and the way will open.

- Zen Proverb


This Zen proverb applies to our writing, or our lack of writing.  

In art we say "You better be standing at your easel when the Muse
arrives."  I think for writing, we better have that pencil in our hand
when the muse arrives. (or be at the computer typing?) Ideas come when
we are engaged in our craft very often. 

This is certainly true in my life as I  make art or write.
The more I am into the physical process, the sooner the way opens. Each
move I make in the process leads me to the next move, and the next. It
is a walk of faith.
