Call in Your Writing Muse
Your writing muse, the creative spark that ignites your imagination, needs special attention. Honor your writing muse and watch your work flow.
Instructions
1. Perform your own special ritual before you sit down to write. Light a candle, take a bubble bath, burn incense or meditate. The action will "open the door" to the world of spirit and the mysteries of imagination.
2. Carry a small pad of paper and a pen with you at all times. You want your muse to know you are prepared for her visit.
3. Keep a notebook or journal next to your bed to write down interesting dreams. Your muse may visit you as you sleep and give you great ideas.
4. Take care of your body, the "temple" that hosts your writing muse. Eat regular, healthy meals and exercise daily.
5. Surround yourself with positive people who support your creativity and writing life.
6. Try not to be too perfectionistic with your writing. At least sometimes, let yourself write first and edit later. Your muse likes to visit when your "inner critic" is turned off.
