Writers require time to day dream and explore; antennae ready for everything along the paths. Let fantasy and reality mesh and meet attention. Through Curiosity, Awareness and Noticing (CAN!), new opportunities build focus during times of "boredom" which all writers encounter.
Notice, I did not use the other B word (Block) because I refuse to believe in it. We can always write something.
Believe (a Positive B word!) writing has its own rhythm. We need patience and word shuffle. Also, we must learn to distract ourselves at certain times and become demanding during other situations. Each writer's temperament requires a different carrot and stick. Learn yours.
Writing requires lots of play time and the engagement that nature offers sensory perceptions. Then writers CAN gather experiences and interactions to use in a variety of ways.
Cameras help to add another layer of creativity to the day. Often an incident such as a Great Blue Heron landing on the water will happen far out of the camera's focus. The blur adds to the context.
What a discovery to experience an elephant who extends its trunk and smiles from the grass!
How will you use the ability to C*A*N today?
