Imaginerepparttar Imagination

Imagine a three hundred page book was inrepparttar 129170 author’s mind before it was poured out ontorepparttar 129171 pages ofrepparttar 129172 book.

Imagine all those words are words we all know and use but one person takes those words and arranges them in a certain way inrepparttar 129173 mind;repparttar 129174 person fuses these words to form a story. Amazing isn’t it?

Writers have a different way of seeingrepparttar 129175 world. They can see poetry in someone’s hair and use it as metaphor for life or as an image to communicate a thought about something else that has nothing to do with hair.

But how isrepparttar 129176 writer able to use words in a fascinating new way?

It is natural inrepparttar 129177 way they are,repparttar 129178 way they think.

The same way language is an innate mechanism to usrepparttar 129179 same way writers haverepparttar 129180 ability to use language in a different sort of way to communicate feelings we all feel.

Although they use language in a different way what they write is about what we all feel; that is why we can relate. The reason why what is written sounds true to life is because it is poured out naturally because it expresses whatrepparttar 129181 writer is feeling onrepparttar 129182 inside atrepparttar 129183 moment.

To see beauty inrepparttar 129184 growth of grass isrepparttar 129185 expression ofrepparttar 129186 soft and aesthetic side.

But does that mean when stuck in a traffic jamrepparttar 129187 writer will not get impatient, when faced with dishonest personsrepparttar 129188 writer is not repulsed; when faced withrepparttar 129189 sight of a hunk flexing his musclesrepparttar 129190 writer does not think dirty little thoughts?

Absolutely not.

Just becauserepparttar 129191 experience of grass growing does not embrace these experiences does not mean these aspects ofrepparttar 129192 author are not present. withinrepparttar 129193 author.

Words are simply used to expressrepparttar 129194 self and are not a substitute forrepparttar 129195 entire self. Ever heard of being dramatic?

Inrepparttar 129196 moment of writing ofrepparttar 129197 growth of grassrepparttar 129198 writer exists in that world andrepparttar 129199 self that writesrepparttar 129200 story is different fromrepparttar 129201 other selves ofrepparttar 129202 writer.

Do not think of many selves as being schizophrenic. You are open with close friends, distant with persons you do not like, professional with business associates and intimate with a loved one.

Of courserepparttar 129203 writer’s self is in consonance withrepparttar 129204 other selves- inrepparttar 129205 mode of thinking and being.

It is natural to be one self as naturally asrepparttar 129206 other selves, and writing means being imbued withrepparttar 129207 value and ideology system ofrepparttar 129208 total self (that isrepparttar 129209 sum of allrepparttar 129210 other selves).

Rejuvenation

Have you ever awoken from a restless sleep feeling as though you needed to write but were too depleted to even pick up a pen, let alone sit down and write something worthwhile? If you haven't felt this way at least one time or another, you are definitely inrepparttar minority. Consider yourself unique withinrepparttar 129166 the vast majority of writers struggling with what I callrepparttar 129167 depletion condition. Many depleted writers, in their attempts to reach a deadline will force themselves to charge forward with their writing regardless of how it makes them feel. If more care is not taken to feeding your writer's soul, you could experience feelings of resentment, inadequate health, and creative blocks that might produce debilitating results.

Lee Humphries, an interdisciplinary research analyst and President of ThinkingApplied.com eloquently stated in his article onrepparttar 129168 Ecology of Creativity that "one ofrepparttar 129169 lamentable facts about our culture is that it holds free time in such low esteem and subtly chides those who engage in it.... this value more than any other passed down to us blocksrepparttar 129170 avenue to creativity."

As a society, we are overrun with "to do" lists and spend little time on reflection and relaxation. Ironicallyrepparttar 129171 busyness of our lives might not producerepparttar 129172 rewards we are seeking. Our rigid schedules can deplete not only our energy but our creativity. In contrast, take a look at a child's view ofrepparttar 129173 world. If you have ever watched a child at play, you do not see someone looking atrepparttar 129174 clock concerned about when they need to stop fingerpainting and start reading a book instead. Furthermore, you do not see a child becoming upset with him or herself when they spend longer periods of time on one task than on another. Onrepparttar 129175 contrary, you see a child lost in a world of his/her own creation. Children are naturally spontaneous and uninhibited.
