Creating is a mystery

January 4, 2013 by Barb 12 Comments

Today I started WORK (my word for 2013) at 6:00 a.m. I plan to keep going until noon which will mean I’ll have put in 7 hours (minus this little bloggy break).

I couldn’t wait to get started. Ideas were filling my head and pouring out onto my notebook.

I literally felt overtaken by some mysterious force. I don’t know if it was the coffee but I felt shaky and impulsive. Weird. I wish I knew what brings this on. I’ve had it before so it’s no stranger to me but I do know that I can’t make it happen – it just does. Most times I can brainstorm all day and not come up with a single thing. I guess I won’t try to figure it out – I just have to go with it.

I better go… I just thought of something…

Have a wonderful day!

    I don’t drink coffee so can’t give the caffeine any credit, but love it when the creative process flows abundantly. Can’t wait to see what it brings you!

    Gosh! I just love when that happens. I’ve felt it moving on for a few days, I need to just stop in my tracks and let it happen. Looking forward to seeing all those new ideas. You are such a great inspiration. Thanks for visiting my blog. We finally got some snow.
