A Write Outlaw

TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 2011

What does it mean to become a write outlaw?

It's a leap beyond usual thinking for possibilities. It pulls the writer out of conventional thought patterns.  Outlaws scamper beyond the ordinary.  They perceive the obvious with intrigue from sound, scent, taste and playful fingers moving on the world's textures.


Writers require an ability to experience unknown levels never conjured before.  At times, they must forget everything known. Transpose things that don't go together.  Moments gone provide insight.


Build your thoughts, layer by layer.  Move away from yourself, become transparent and receptive to myriad windows to mystery.


Forget everything you know.  How would a write outlaw respond?


Explain morning like a peony in a hundred petals or less.


Tackle anxiety with the milky way.


Become a silversmith for dandelions.


Define a tendril of chance.


Wisecrack a bowl and set the celadon free.


Glimmer, Tremble, Wink.  Where does it lead?


Enter the labyrinth.  Move into the inner ear.


How would you trumpet the darkness past sunset?


Take a left turn in your right mind and a right turn with your left spoon.


Consider a conestoga wagon and sand melting to glass.


Walk right into the middle of . .




Creative Write:  Wear yourself out word by word.
