For Your Writing & Creative Inspiration: A Quote from Maya Angelou, Questions, Prompt & More

Each day, a quote, an image, several questions and a writing prompt are offered to you to use for  Your Writing & Creative Inspiration in order to increase your creative thinking as well as your personal and soulful  development.

The most helpful strategy is to read the quote, questions, prompt and list and not to "take them on" all at once, but to allow them to simmer in the back of your mind throughout the day. Sure, you may "write" one immediately, but don't call it "done" until you have allowed your powerful subconscious mind to bring up some unexpected responses for your conscious mind to create within.

 

“When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder.”

Maya Angelou

Questions:

What in your life is a metaphor for a “great tree”?

Prompt:

I know this one may seem tricky at first glance, but please follow me here – and I have written an example for you just so you may feel more comfortable trying it out. As always, you may write or create to your own prompt. My suggestions are simply possibilities and you may find yourself on the just right for you tangent, anyway.

When my (“insert your metaphor for great tree”) rocks on (change to the what happens) (insert your metaphor for distant hills)…. and then, just freely write without conscious thought…. What happens?

Example:

When my business idea falls (instead of great tree – and falls is synonymous with ‘is created’)  gold dust rains on the hearts and minds of my future clients, a call, a beckoning, a silent poem inviting them in….

List:

Make a list of at least ten ways your “great tree” may impact your corner of the world and beyond….
