How do you tap into your creativity?

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.

Concerning all acts of initiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless plans.

That the moment one definitely commits oneself then providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred.

A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would come his way.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. *Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Begin it now. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Heart

“You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head.

The first key to writing is . . . to write, not to think!”

Clarity

“Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. You can only see one thing clearly, and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.”

Kathleen Norris

Escape

“If you start trying to pretend that you’re writing like somebody else…that’s where you’ll fall down. If you just write as you talk to yourself, then I think that almost everybody does have a story to tell and it will escape if you let it.”
— Maeve Binchy, Tara Road
