For Your Creative & Writing Inspiration: Quote from Roald Dahl, Prompts & More

What are you watching with your glittering eyes?

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.

Quote:

"Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

- Roald Dahl

Questions:

What are the secrets hidden in your unlikely places?

How regularly do you see with your "glittering eyes"? What do you think Roald Dahl means when he uses this expression.

List: Make your lists from an unattached place and then use them as writing prompts.

10 recent surprises

5 places/things you would like to see... soon!

Writing Prompts:

My inner secret is hidden in.....

My best business secret to share is....

My funniest secret went like this....

When I open my eyes more widely, I notice.....

　Field Trip:

Take a walk around a block you are familiar with, specifically looking for hidden secrets you haven't ever noticed in the past. I guarantee you will find at least one, if not many, surprises. You may also wish to take photos of these treasures. Bonus: Write of the experience and/or use the surprises as a writing prompt themselves.

This Blog Series was created to increase your creative thinking process as well as inspire writing and ideas to take form that may not have taken form without these specific quotes, questions and prompts. If you find them helpful, I hope you will pass them along to friends as well.

I’m so glad you are here, reading and creating.

This Day: How to Have a Satisfying Start after... a different start....

I realized this morning what my deal has been this week: you know, why I am feeling – right now – so wiped out. I sort of feel like I imagine how lava feels, once its cooled down but is still moving just not moving quickly. Molasses mind. It could be described as sticky, tenacious feeling of what was once completely destructive in a microwave-sense-of-quick now becoming dense and the opposite of mercurial.

Traveling solo and leaving the children behind is automatically a bit of a hot bed of emotion for me, but leaving the children behind and during that absence having a gas explosion in front of the house next door and the entire block evacuated does not add a warm and fuzzy icing on the cake. At all.

There were several other shocks to my system including Emma’s high school counselor waving an “expulsion” flag in front of my panicked eyes – and the red alert was like automatic rifles shooting through my gut and causing all sorts of interior, invisible to the eye damage.

My realization of this is critical and if I was Pollyanna, I would say “very exciting!” with perhaps a few extra exclamation points.

Instead, I will admit the realization and its partner, understanding and continued processing is what will get me into a better emotional space. Even as I write this I am smiling again: I am clearly being self coach, self therapist and self any other clinician who works with humans to help them actualize and improve.

1.       Stuff happens.

2.       Sometimes stuff piles on top of other stuff.

3.       The natural response differs between people and is different each time. If the stuff is piled upon other discombobulation, discomfort may leave a deeper mark. This isn’t a sign of somehow being weak, or bad, or unevolved, it is a natural part of being human.

4.       The best way to heal the stuff upon the stuff upon the stuff is whatever version of rest suits you. This may be exercise, this may be writing, this may be sex or other intimacy, this may be silence with friends, this may be prayer, this may be a combination of the above or others that best suit you.

5.       There is no magic key or jealously guarded secret that will make the progress “easier or better” for you.

6.       Forgive yourself for any responses you felt were “less than” who you know yourself to be.

7.       Repeat as needed.

8.       Instead, I will admit the realization and its partner, understanding and continued processing is what will get me into a better emotional space. Even as I write this I am smiling again: I am clearly being self coach, self therapist and self any other clinician who works with humans to help them actualize and improve.

9.       Instead, I will admit the realization and its partner, understanding and continued processing is what will get me into a better emotional space. Even as I write this I am smiling again: I am clearly being self coach, self therapist and self any other clinician who works with humans to help them actualize and improve.

Simply taking the time to write this down has cleared my system a bit. I feel happier, more content and definitely “on my way” in a way I haven’t felt since the flight from Houston to Bakersfield when I knew there had been an explosion and evacuation but didn’t know what would face me once I landed.

From the poem by Mary Jean Irion:

“Today: Let me learn from you, love you, savor you, bless you before you depart.”

It is satisfying to have this start.

Together We Can Figure Out How to Say It: "Normal Day, Let Us Be..."

How do I say it?

The last week has been rather trying for me. Well, since last Monday, things have been trying for me.

Traveling across country and switching planes three times – two of which were smaller seating arrangements with grouchier people than I would like and finding out in Houston there had been an emergency evacuation due to a gas explosion in my Bakersfield neighborhood made for an emotionally treacherous end of the trip.

Once in Bakersfield, I was immediately thrust into my normal routines. And my normal routines plus secondary and tertiary activities along with spinning plates of other’s needs and desires almost all day long everyday.

I found a poem I love by Mary Jean Irion and have decided to play with an image and a line, daily, to remind me what is important… certainly much more important than getting worked up over continual plate spinning.

I hope you will read along to experience the entire poem and perhaps pray or set an intention to live the poem as it is posted.

How about it? Do you want to remember: “Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are.”

What else or what other ways would you complete this sentence or add to this sentence?

J is for Judith Sargent Murray: Our Literary Grannies from A to Z

 

Judith Sargent Murray: Essayist, Poet, Playwright, Reformer

Judith Sargent Murray was one of those women who is frequently called “a feminist” because she worked toward equality between women and men, but there wasn’t a name for this yet. She would never call herself a feminist because that might be like one of the Viking Captains calling himself an astronaut.

 She was born to a wealthy and prominent family in Glouchester, Massachusetts family in 1751. Like most families of that time, the girl children were not educated beyond the basics they learned at home. The Sargent brothers are the ones who went to Harvard, but thankfully, her parents were liberal enough to allow Judith to study alongside her brother as she prepped for Harvard and continued alongside him when he came home from school in the Summer months.

This was the beginning of her unwavering belief in the education of girls and women. Her first published essay (under the pen name Constantia) was titled: “Desultory Thoughts of Self-Complacency, Especially in Female Bosoms,” which appeared in 1784. It is, perhaps, a chapter from one of her earliest drafts of the work she published in 1790, On the Equality of the Sexes,  which she reportedly completed its first draft in 1779 but was not ready to have it published at that time.

In addition to the pen name of Constantia, she also wrote under the name “Mr. Vigillius” because she believed he would have a wider readership than Constantia.  “He” wrote fiction which described and illustrated Judith’s views on religion, politics, education and the manners and  customs of the day.

Judith also had literary leanings in poetry, playwriting, fiction. She was well respected, usually, but had a few anti-admirers. The most notable of these was Thomas Paine. He went so far as to lambast her plays and encourage people to not attend. While her plays were somewhat popular, they were never critically acclaimed.

Another little known contribution of Judith Sargent Murray is she was the founder of the first academy for girls in the United States.  She believed in a more rigorous education for women in order for them to assume their responsibilities in the new nation. She and several women founded the academy in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and it began educating young women not only in the area, but from afar. Some of these girls even boarded at the Murray home while being educated.

Long ago she wrote, “I may be accused of enthusiasm; but such is my confidence in THE SEX, that I expect to see our young women forming a new era in female history."

May we continue to form a new era in history of women and men, together.

How to Stay the Course to Find Your Way Back to Writing-Love

This morning after Sam got on the school bus I randomly picked The Right to Write by Julia Cameron off the shelf. The first sentence I read stated, " 'I'm afraid' is always what stands between us and the page." 

Just last night I had a heart to heart conversation with a friend about fear: I wondered what was stopping me on a project. “It must be fear,” I said, but fear of what?”

Then Julia Cameron reminds me that fear stands between me and the page. Fear also stands between you and the page.

What would it be like to cut out the fear of simply showing up at the page now?

Let's each and all collectively choose to stay the course, even if that familiar friend fear pops up and tries to grab our pencils out of our hand or push our fingers from the keyboard.

You may grab onto our topic for writing and life today: Staying the Course. Sometimes during a wild and wooly weekend, getting back to the page feels like a monumental task. The thought of lifting my pencil, even lifting my fingers now to the keyboard feels so heavy. Spring break did it to me, too. It robbed me of my daily routines – or was it, I allowed the fear of losing my daily routines get in the way of my writing course.

One of my poet friends commented on my blog while I was away yesterday:

"I miss your poetry. Please join us today, our topic is love and romance." I scowled and quickly jotted a first draft:

She asked me to write of love and romance
and all I can think of is other poet's lines:

Gibran said, "Work is love made visible."
and Browning croons, "“Grow old with me,
the best is yet to be.” and I growl,
I pace, I grumble and pout and stammer
Mary Oliver taps on my shoulder, looks
me in the eye and soulfully states:
"“I have been in love more times than one,
thank the Lord."

I quote Pat Benatar lyrics,
"Love is a battlefield" and shout
J. Geils, "Love stinks" and my own,
"Love doesn't read my poetry
anyway so why bother, really?"

My socks are wet
I'm still wearing my jammies
and I am expected to
be inspiring to many in
just 30 minutes

What does love have to say about that?

I feel a sense of smiling between
my shoulder blades
I take a gulp of now cold coffee

I choose to stop grousing and
start writing
because more than once
my love has been found
first there, between and
among the words
even becoming
the love, itself

I may not know love like
Robert and Elizabeth
or Rumi and Shams or
Mary and Molly or
those tricky kids
Romeo and Juliet AND

I do have word-love
I'll write to that...

Will you write to word-love?

To carry you through the weekend, I created some prompts for you. Take a moment to read through them now. Copy them into a document or write them in your notebook. Let the prompts settle into a cozy place in your subconscious, working quietly as you go about your day.

Later, come back and write from one (or more of the prompts) free flow writing style. Write for ten minutes and then stop. Take a breath and walk away. Go about your everyday business. Come back later or tomorrow scoop another and write until you have "written it all out.”

If you continue this process over the weekend, You will deepen both your awareness and your devotion to writing and word-love.  I am convinced of it.

Prompts:

Today I will choose to stay the course because...

If I told the truth about staying the course so that I could fulfill my writing dreams, I would say...

One way I will stay the course with my writing today is...

I will speak and write what is rumbling under my skin: I am scared when I think of staying the course and even though I don't want to say it, I will say...

I will tenaciously, stubbornly, passionately stay the course by doing....

I devote myself to staying the course with my writing and one way I will show that devotion to the world looks like.....(and then write from your other senses, too. Smells like, sounds like, tastes like, feels like…)

Can you feel the sense of smiling and joy right there, between your shoulder blades? Maybe you don't yet, but stay the course with your writing and my bet is soon you will be smiling with your entire being. 

Stay on your writing course simply because through it, you gain confidence. Through confidence, your passion builds. Through word-love, the world is a better place.

How to Crack Open Your Creative Inspiration Now -

What are your methods for creating inspiration?

 You may think inspiration comes from the outside in, a lightning bolt of an idea that waits in the heavens and then – Ka Pow! Our brilliance shines in all its glorious magnificence!

What if inspiration lived completely within you and all it would take for you to write (paint, photograph, sing, stitch, whatever your chosen medium) is to tap into its power at any time?

Today, a story of how I do exactly that using photography and writing.

 My hope is you will learn and feel moved to try something similar for yourself.

 My friend, Victor, and I were in the midst of a conversation about motivation and inspiration yesterday. We were talking about feeling it and not feeling it and what our responses were, either way.

I told him about my recent journey from Bakersfield to Corona del Mar and back again in one day for my Uncle’s funeral. It felt different, that day, because I didn’t feel compelled at all to pull my notebook from my backpack and catalog my experience with words. “It was different,” I noted without further reflection or judgment.

I added, almost absently, “I did take a lot of photos, though.”

I took a quiet breath. “It was something, taking photos.”  My words sounded almost like an apology.

I turned the conversational attention to my friend.

“What about you?” I asked. “What have you photographed lately?”

 “Not a thing,” he answered. “Nothing has interested me.”

I coughed, gagged and sputtered. I heard some version of a vocalized “What?!” burst from deep in my lungs.

 He asked me a question, “What am I going to photograph here in Podunk USA?”

 I was speechless, absolutely speechless. Victor has taught me so much about making forward progress no matter where I am, my dear friend who right now was saying there is nothing to photograph in his version of Podunk USA which is very similar to my version of Podunk USA.

 Victor’s lack of inspiration right where he was, Podunk or not, shocked me right into wordlessness.

I decided to take a slightly different angle to our conversation.

 “Remember how you have complimented me for having a great eye in my photos?” I asked him.

 He nodded yes. I asked another question.

“How do you suppose I developed what you describe as ‘a great eye’?”

 There was a pause.

 “You take a lot of pictures.” Victor responded.

 “Yes, I take a lot of pictures. Every day I take pictures. Here, in Bakersfield  in MY Podunk, USA”

 I paused again. “Every day.”

 Every day I take photos of aspects of life I find interesting because I choose to find the images right in front of me interesting. Yes, I choose to be interested in objects which may not be notable to anyone else but me.

I want to live a fully engaged life so I choose to be engaged with whatever is in front of me. It is so simple.

That’s what living a creative lifestyle is about, it is about an invitation to become more fully engaged in your life.

 What will you choose to be interested in today?

During the train trip to attend my Uncle’s funeral, I chose to be interested architectural elements. I was drawn to cornices, archways, doorways, the tiles in benches and walls. I choose to be interested in changing perspectives, in looking from the undersides, in noticing how the changing light changes how I see and experience things.

I chose to get right up against things, to let my lense get microscopically close to a subject.

 I chose to engage wonder about the bark on the palm tree in my front yard and then turn to engage in the wonder of the bark on the palm tree in my backyard, which is different than the bark on the front palm. I choose to engage wonder with the spider web, the leaves on the mulberry tree, the window sill the spider web is woven upon, the movement of the sun throughout the day and throughout the seasons.

 

It is in these moments when I notice the beauty around me. It looks no different than when it did before only now I am in a relationship with it. I have conscious acted in order to  change “uninteresting” to “very interesting in my version of Podunk, USA.

This is when inspiration cracks open inside of me. I allow myself to be devoted to seeing in a new way without being attached to “being inspired” – believing I need inspiration in order to crack open creativity and instead, allow inspiration to be cracked open through the devoted actions I take.

 

My devoted, conscious action invites inspiration to crack open within me.

 I invited inspiration to come in and as always, inspiration didn’t fail me.

Remember this message: I didn’t wait for inspiration to be there. Instead, I invited it to join me and consciously acted in a space and attitude of wonder, of gratitude, of engagement.

You don’t have to wait for inspiration, either. You can choose to crack it open inside of you by engaging with life right in front of you, right there, right now.

Inspiration is right there, exactly where you are, exactly as you are in an infinite number of forms and images.

 Look around your space right now, with a renewed sense of wonder.

 What do you see? Smell? Feel? Hope? Wish?

 Take what you see, smell, feel, hope, wish and wrap it up in a creative adventure with words or photos or song or prayer or sketch.

Crack yourself open to the inspiration all around you right now.

Balance Your Life: Improve Your Writing (+ Business) Excellence

Everything is more interesting when it has more spice: Writing, Business, Life... all of it!

Balance is one of the keys to improving your writing excellence.

I remember way back when in the days I was first starting my life coaching practice more than twelve years ago I spent nearly all my time either on the computer doing marketing and internet networking or working with clients and developing products.

I enjoyed it a lot, but after a while I realized sitting behind a keyboard was not the be-all, end-all of life.

I had left a county job because I wanted to be more flexible, creative and fun, so this almost pure keyboard life wasn’t working out the way I had hoped things would work out.

I started simply, walking my dogs every day and writing morning pages – journaling daily for three pages, usually longhand. When I got up to walk my dogs, not only was I getting exercise, I was purposefully giving space for other insights to pour through me from other sources beyond the computer and the internet.

My dogs were happier, I was happier and my writing took on a different flavor and texture.

I would start my day at the kitchen table rather than the keyboard.

There I would look out the window and write three pages in my college ruled notebook. I didn’t know if it would work, but ten years later it is still working! I found myself becoming spontaneously more creative not only in writing, but in other ways. Those three pages gave me a place to throw figurative spaghetti against the wall.

I had a space to complain – something I never did in my writing as a Life Coach because I thought I had to be perfect in that arena, or at least appear to have it all together.

I had a space to practice with words, to play with words, to remember my ridiculous passion and love for words.

1. How balanced is your life between your online work and your offline living?
2. Are you willing to make your writing (and work life) improve by leaps and bounds?
3. What have you noticed is “missing” from your life lately?

Start a list of simple, ordinary things you would like to experience more. No, this is not the place for your life list of climbing Mt. Everest, but it could be, “Take a daily ten minute walk five days a week,” or “Hand write one thank you note each week,” or “Try a new coffee place this month,” or one of my long-term favorite goals, “Have a lunch date with a friend at least once a week.”

Before you go into panic mode about what you can’t do because it will make your business flounder, please please please at least try on the concept that you will actually get more work done when you don’t inundate yourself with work, work, work even if you love it! One economic term I remember and refer back to is the Law of Diminishing Returns – which basically means you get fewer results the longer you spend on something once you have reached your peak productivity.

Remember:  Balance is one of the keys to improving your writing (+ business + life) excellence.

Writing & Word Love Tip: One Sentence - One Word - At a Time

Sometimes I simply write one sentence at a time.

Sometimes that is the best medicine. One sentence – no, one word - at a time.

Slowly, methodically, letter by letter dropped onto the page.

Phase two: Let the words sit without you hovering.

Get up and leave, do something else,  remembering what you have written even in the vaguest sense.

In case you didn't "get" that, what I said was...

Get up and leave, do something else,  remembering what you have written even in the vaguest sense.

Return and repeat: one sentence at a time

Our best medicine may be a word at a time.

The most important ingredient in the word-love writing medicine is action. You pick up your pencil (or pen, fingers on the keyboard, etc) and you write that one word.

Simply start and continue and take a break and start and continue and take a break.

Here is how I did it just now for a story I want to write but can’t seem to get it to work how I want it to, right now.

Instead of sitting and doing nothing, I am choosing to write one word or a phrase and then one sentence about three images from the story I want to tell.

Waiting - - - The farmer’s recent presence is left behind as he takes his claim upon the still sleeping trees.

 

DIY – The Farmer made a stop sign from agricultural scraps. Such a human element amidst so many growing things.

 

Dancing. The upturned tree exposes roots as their ghosts take the opportunity to throw a celebratory ball.

What images or words or sentences are calling you to put them into language form?

Instead of rushing to write, “rush” to allow yourself to take action to write slowly.

Allow your write action to be a peaceful waterfall of words rather than a freight train rumbling through a busy intersection, upsetting the normal traffic patterns by shouting with its horn and making the buildings around it shake.

One word.

One phrase.

One sentence.

Repeat. Allow the words to guide the growth of the writing itself.

Take action, slowly....

Are You Ready to Risk & Rock & Roll?

Today from BlogHer's NaBloPoMo:

If you didn't have to be concerned about money or expertise, what would be your ideal job?

I never want to have a job again. I do have my ideal life work is exactly what I do now (write, teach, create art, life coach, speak, Mommy… ) but if I had all the money in the world to promote myself (and the time, remember yesterday’s bullies!) and a personal assistant to work with me on the stuff I don’t like to do, I could be helpful to so many MORE people.

I would like to do MORE of what I do and LESS of what I don’t want to do.

It is pretty simple:

1. Eradicate Belief Bullies  (I wrote about this yesterday) by Taking Passionate Action
2. Follow up according to the results of #1
3. Find more new and creative ways to rock the world that are uniquely me.
4. Continue to tweak, revitalize and restore.

Are you ready to see it happen?

I am ready to risk & rock & roll!

Writing Prompt: Resolution or Evidence: Which Do You Appreciate More?

I have a love for storytelling and performance, both. I love film and theater, I love going to galleries, I love talking about all of these topics and how they intermingle.

I have been living the question, “Does ‘resolution’ have to be a part of the process for the artist as well as the audience?”

I thought to a time when I was teaching Sunday School and a very brave creator of children’s curriculum chose not to tie up the video for the lesson with a big red bow. Some of the children spoke dissatisfaction with that choice. They want and expect the resolution. They want to know the “what happened” perhaps so they know how to move forward in their own lives.

Last Fall I told a story that put me in a very vulnerable position. I had never told this particular story of my life and I was so afraid to tell it. I felt as if I was opening my gut and allowing all that bloody, stinky mess fall out onto the stage floor. I didn’t end my story with a big, red bow, I ended my story with a question. “Was that what I think it might be?” was the basic gist of the final line I spoke.

I remember the words of Adelaide Crapsey when she said, “Artists give us not conclusions but evidence.”

Artists may leave breadcrumbs along the path, but they won’t open the door to the cottage. You, the audience member, are charged with opening the door.

Excuse me, what I meant to tell you is, you are privileged to open the door.

Go ahead, open the door.

What will stretch you more, resolution or evidence?

Which will challenge you more, evidence or resolution?

If you feel stuck, write your responses to those questions, stream of consciousness style. Then tuck those two questions in the back of your mind, go about your business, and tomorrow morning write your responses to those questions again without thinking or judging or even thinking.

Let your pencil (pen, fingers on the keyboard) lead you.
