The witching hour, more bones and flesh.

Picture
There is a time in the day that is just right, your time, when all is quiet and your mind has room to move…or not.
I tend to be a night owl, pottering into the night without realising.  Others are early birds and love to watch the sun come up.  Maybe there is a time related quote that resonates with you, if so share it with us and free write your time away!

Back to basics and Natalie Goldberg, (among others), has it covered. 
A little bit of stress often creeps into our creative endeavours.  Wondering if we'll get it right, have natural talent, understand or fear of the blank canvas or white page.

Overthinking it makes you more anxious, so ...
go with the flow,
set achievable goals like keeping the pen moving,
writing the first thing that comes to mind,
not worrying about spelling and grammar,
remembering that there is no wrong or right,
and most importantly, enjoy yourself!
 
I have pretty much read similar advice in many of the creative writing books I’ve come across.  Finding your time, choosing your tools, creating your rituals…its all part of the process.
So lets perform a little experiment. 
Grab a handful of as many different writing tools and materials as you can find at hand.
Experiment writing with them all.
Write in different locations, with or without music, with incense or birdsong or complete stillness.  Make a feather quill and dip it in some real ink, dribble those slurps of tea onto the page and tell us what works best for you.

yle Brandeis’ book Fruitflesh is divided into earthy chapters following the cycle of life: seeds, roots, trunk, branches, leaves, buds, flowers, fruit, seeds.
Within each are little stories and anecdotes, connecting this same cycle back to the lush richness of our bodies and all the rites of passage of life, turning each thought into a moment of reflection, a metaphor, a writing prompt.
If you read the Intro last week, you will have a sense of the fruitfulness she speaks of; perhaps you feel it within yourself already.  It is beautifully crafted and incredibly inspiring, celebrating each step of the feminine voyage.
​
This week we are rummaging around in our cellars...

Check the images for the prompt.

    For me, it seems there is not much difference between wondering and wandering. It has always helped me  find inspiration.  Creative dabbling is good for the soul, I couldn't imagine life without it and  often surprise myself by what I come up with.
