As we are here in the "creative process" section, I wondered about is, after all, a philosophical question: whatis the creative process, howdoes it work, how do each of you actually begin to create some piece (a poem, for example). I personally am ruminating all the time, maybe even unconsciously. I am working out words, phrases - that kind of thing. What about "writers' block"? It all just 'comes' to me.: maybe that's what they mean by being visited by the "Muse". Just wondered . . . maybe someone out there could come back with some ideas?

The strangest things can inspire you. Your feelings, a flower by the road side, etc. Though I found that sometimes the best ideas seem to come around midnight, as you are trying to fall asleep - LOL.

I find that I have to write even if what I write is nothing worthy or good... Just to express any and all feelings to get them out and on paper and off my mind... but others times I am just over come with inspiration and almost become manic in the creative process and the words and images just spill all over and I have to go and go non stop until the work is just right . I am like that when I try to paint I wont stop untill the work is done. kinda weird I know but I am an odd one anyhow so thats normal for me lol.
I enjoy your work and glad you are playing tag it is fun once you get the hang of it. nice to meet you and hope to see your work up in here more and more John. PEACE BMW |

Look at this poem/story. I saw it long ago & remember it
http://www.lovethissite.com/crackedpot/ The music is by Neil Young...who had polio as a boy and has epilepsy. I thought of it when I read FinLady's post. |

So many thanks to Finlady, Burntmarshmallow, and lor for your responses! Yes, I did read the "cracked pot" story, what a way to remind us we all have our idiosyncracies, but of benefit to everyone. Must put some more poems of mine on here: will do that today. I love you all.

THE WILD MOORS
Too many times I wandered the wild moors alone, too many times I tempted the weather and survived dry; too many times I heard Voices and panicked, wind in my face, eating my bald head, now I am content - at least for now. Too many times I struggled uphill, too many times I was scared of my Voice, now I am in control while the rain lashes my soul, now I am content – at least this hour. Too many times I gave way to the Voice, too many times I didn’t understand, now I am master of the Voice while the clouds gather ominously, now I am content – at least this trek. Too many times I heard the souls who got lost here, too many times souls got lost in the mist, too many times a haunting Voice whispered, but I am content – at least on this rest. Too many times I’ve trekked this slushy path, too many times I’ve watched as it came to dusk, the curlew distant far, not many times a screaming Voice was conquered, but I am content: now I am in control. I am content on the wild moor as the clouds disperse once more, these days I talk to my Voice as one not like the days of yore. Now I am content: dark on the moor but bright in my soul. With the wind on my back and a song on my lips I come off the wild moor at last; I have faced down my Voice with the wind as a friend now I am content: it’s passed. |
