30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT July 7th What do you do when you are out of inspiration or ideas? I answered this as soon as I read it, but I forgot to fill in the blog and post it. So I have to do it now and get caught back up. I go for a walk and fill the well with images - sights, smells, tastes, sounds and experiences - a full sensory banquet of delights. Physically moving through these experiences allow you to drop them into the well, where they can compost and develop into something rich for future artistic expression. I also turn to books or movies in the hopes of mining ideas and gaining inspiration, but sometimes it is nice to just let go and not worry about finding just the right idea. Doing mundane, day to day things, like showering or doing the dishes, might let you mind play in the quagmire of your thoughts, loosening ideas and letting them surface without actually taking a pickax to them. Just switching gears and not obsessing on the problem, just might make something shift or come into view. This kind of thing might even work itself out in your dreams. The more you stress about it, the more the ideas hide - kind of like little blue fairies, or your muse, refusing to come out and play when they sense the danger in your worry. Relax and do something completely different and they will come back and flit around just begging to be included again. |
