Well, the weather here has been pretty awful so far this week, so I’ve spent a lot of time behind my computer screen and I’ve started watching trailers for some of the summer movies that I’m very excited to go see and its spurred my imagination to dust off my attempt at a first book and start writing again. I forgot how much fun it is to truly let your imagination go and just see where it can take you. I love story telling in all its forms. I enjoy getting a peak into someone else’s mind and getting to see what their imagination can come up with. Its interesting to me how any number of people can here the same concept or idea and get such drastically different visions of what that would be like. I take it as a personal challenge in my writing to be detailed and specific enough that when someone reads my thoughts they can get the exact same picture that I had when I wrote it. Its a fun and daunting process to write, e. specially with the intention of having other people read it. Its a process that really gets me excited, kind of like art and design. There is just something intensely satisfying about creation.. to look at a blank page, screen, canvas, chunk of metal or whatever your medium is and to scuplt and mold out of that your vision, your ideas, your personality and whatever is going through your head at that specific moment in time. Its a very different and sometimes surreal way of leaving a time capsule behind. It anchors you to reality and to the things that surround you and things you are feeling but it also catapults you into the realms unknown where anything is possible, where anything will happen and fills you with the hope of what can be and what is to come.
Here’s today’s quote:
“Imagination opens the mind to realms beyond the five senses. It carries us beyond the here and now and gently guides us through limitless possibilities.” – Wendy J Reynolds
