Today is June 8th, 2016

 

Attention all Authors, Novelists, Writers, and Poets ~

If you haven't noticed, we are six months into the year.  Summer is upon us, and if you aren't careful, you'll look up and find those Autumn leaves dancing around in your front yard -- or in your Living Room if you happen to leave the front door open.

 

Here's the question for today...

Why does the notion of "Abstract Ground Work" matter?

Whatever it is that you seek to accomplish starts by laying the ground work for that fantastic vision that you have twirling around in your soul.  Your vision is twirling around in your soul to remind you that you need to pay close attention to the details that will assist you in making your vision a reality.  And that vision that you have is nudging you, or in some cases pushing you -- to get it in gear to unpackage the "gift" within you.

Have you ever felt butterflies when you focus on all the things that you really hope to do, miss doing, or can't seem to make manifest in the present moment?

Well, well, well...

Here's a gentle reminder ~ The Art of Writing is a "gift".  Abstract Ground Work is about snapping yourself into action whether your body is willing and ready or not.  It makes no difference if your mind is in a state of flux.  Abstract Ground Work does not care, and frankly is fertile if you find yourself in a flux state, so to speak.

All you have to do is get your materials in order.  Get your tools lined up.  Place your diagram in front of your face.  Whenever you find yourself whirling around or flip-flopping around from doing to not doing, excited, and then dropping down into the doldrums, then you need to get busy with your Abstract Ground Work assignment.

For the sake of schematic simplicity, by all means, be sure to ignore the various complications connected with time, which require some tedious but perfectly feasible elaborations.  Stalling and/or procrastinating is quite tedious you know.

Simply use abstract symbols to lead your mind to what it is that you are seeking to accomplish.  If you want to write a Novel, get your notepad and sketchbook out and start working on the ideas rolling around in your head for the design of your Novel Cover.

If you happen to be a Poet, but you can't seem to get your poetic juices flowing, then you need to relax and allow your internal poetic charm to come forth.  Poetry has a charm, and it rarely likes to get comfortable with uptight people.
