A Curiosity Chase

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. 
- Albert Einstein. 

“Curiouser and curiouser!” cried Alice.

Curiosity sparks awareness, nudges a nose for observation, and a desire to explore. Learning about yourself and the world results. Each individual has an unlimited capacity for curiosity. It bubbles inside and thrills the senses. Audacity spirits the soul.

Discoveries explode around each corner. In the silence, moments present wonder. 

Questions tumble upon mysteries and roar for more. 

Clouds in a puddle arouse the adventure of an upside down scene. 

Where will the palm trees lead with a scent of jasmine in the air? 





A seabird distracts to divert attention where the sea and sky provide their playground.

Follow a swirl of life calling for play. 

How do you define curiosity? 

Does it involve a need to solve a problem? Do you feel a devious desire, a compulsion?  

What colors drive your curiosity?  

Detail your search for a curious thing.  

Become curiouser and curiouser.

Chase curiosity. 

Begin 2022 in Creativity

Are you feeling consumed by changes you wish to occur in 2022?  

Forget Resolutions. Free your mind of distractions and explore without judgment today.  Relent to creative urges and stay flexible.

Imaginate:     Write ways to conquer something that feels impossible.

Play:            Describe a fun and playful activity. Do it.

Revitalize:     See a current problem in a creative way. Solve it.

Eye rolls:       Examine a familiar object with a new perspective.

No gravity:    What would you do today if gravity didn't hold you down?

Take the responses and re-arrange them. Read them aloud. then put them aside and consider how you will begin the year as a purple tummybird.

2022 Writing Revolution of Ideas

Consider a Writing Revolution of Ideas for 2022.

Timothy Pychyl, a professor of psychology at Carleton University in Canada, describes resolutions as an effort to reinvent oneself. People make resolutions as a way of motivating themselves, he says. Pychyl argues that people aren't ready to change their habits, particularly bad habits, and that accounts for the high failure rate of resolutions. Another reason for the high failure rate involves unrealistic goals and expectations.

Stop the resolutions!  Let the Revolution of Writing Begin. Change your approach.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton etched eternal, “The pen is mightier than the sword,” in his play Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy. When he played The Joker in Batman, Jack Nicholson threw a poison quill into someone’s neck. The powerful pen concept has seen constant use in communicating the force of language.

All writers face beasts that sap word power. They wear a variety of costumes. Often we have to discover how to conquer them in ways beyond disciplining ourselves to write.

"It's always just beginning. Everything is always just beginning." - Jakuso Kwong

Move into your flight pattern:

Write in moments. Make each feel fresh and full of surprises. Strike from all sides of the subject. Revolutionize with positivity.

Plan every day to focus on an aspect of writing in the moment. No matter how mundane the words appear, let them flow, flee and fly on the page or screen.

Celebrate your success of making the moments happen. If you write today; you're a writer today. Applaud yourself!

Be mindful. Get playful. Stay physically, emotionally and mentally aware of your inner state as you write moment by moment, rather than living in the past or future.

Don't take yourself so seriously. Have fun and laugh when you feel cranky and don't want to write.  Write about cranky.  Write even more.

Fire up the pen, flap those wings, and take on the moments of 2022 in words.
