Nurturing Creativity

I found some new inspiration for my book on my friend Amanda Fink’s blog. Thanks Fink!

I absolutely loved the book that this woman Elizabeth Gilbert wrote, and sometimes when I’m sitting down to write I feel like this.  I feel so much pressure to make sure it’s good.  What if we could relieve ourselves of some of our egos, and relax?

Since I have watched this film, I feel so much less burdened.  What if I didn’t have to take complete responsibility for how it turns out?  It’s allowed me to just let things flow.

I am now up to page 46 in my book.  I’m just starting to figure out how I work.  I’ve tried writing at all different times of day, before taking a shower, after taking a shower, before working out, after working out, right before bed, as soon as I get up…and I find I work best by starting first thing in the morning.  My mind is fresh, my spirits are high, and although I may smell a bit, my words fly.  I still have no idea if it will be any good, but I do picture myself on Oprah. Fair enough?
