Word Strumpet has an article about writing flow that I found interesting.
I have in previous blog entries talked about how to start the creative flow; how to make the inspiration come to me, instead of waiting for it.
This article gives examples of exercises you do every day, no matter if you are in the mood or not.
I have not been very good at this type of exercises myself. I’ve been very successful in finding excuses not to do them right now.
But I have learned in the past year that discipline pays off.
I can’t tell if the exercises in this article make you a star, but at least I will try to get something like that as a daily habit.
One more try. Again.

I wish I could turn the creative flow off sometimes.
Do you also feel frustrated that there is no way to get it out sometimes?
I had a period when the creative needs caused me problems. Take a look at this blog entry:

I've never had that problem.
I honestly don't understand it.
I have imagination overload somethings when I can't focus on which of the hundreds of stories coming into my head that I'm going to do.
Isn't it great that we are all unique?
Hello Désirée,
Wow, thanks a lot for this article. I love this kind of autohelp excercises, I also have sometimes the problem to wait for inspiration while one can also search for it with the help of this kind of articles.
Thanks, you made my day!
Big hug.
You're welcome, This Makes My day.
I am a great believer of inviting inspiration instead of only waiting for it to appear.
As all invitations, it does not always work, but id doesn't hurt to ask.
