Using deep thought as fuel for your writings.

Using deep thought as fuel for your writings.

BLOG SESSION

January 24th, 2018

Welcome back Writers! Today is a good day to learn how you can use deep thought as fuel for your writings.

As we all know, many Writers can sink into thought at a level that some may find sad or depressing. After all, writers are thinkers. As a writer, you have to be a thinker. It is part and parcel of the writing experience. What is vital about your thought process is that you must learn to utilize your thoughts in your favor. It is a definite must. You cannot afford to let your thoughts overwhelm you to the point of stagnation. Too much thinking can be debilitating. It is like having an infirmity in your mind, and that is not allowed.

Fuel is necessary if you desire to have writings that have strength. The fuel I am referring to are those deep thoughts that in many cases some writers find to be overwhelming. The key is to take control of your thoughts.

If you find that you are dwelling on anything that is taking your spirit down into the depths, you must learn to pull up on that particular thought process and bring it under submission. Take those thoughts and turn them into a story of sorts. Make the feelings work toward a storyline that brings forth energy that transforms woe into a tale that no other writer can tell but you. This is where the excitement comes in . . .

"The Tale of Woe is me"

Deep thinking Writer ~ Here's what you'll need to do:

1) Capture your thoughts on paper;

2) Work through your thought process;

3) Figure out the source of your thoughts;

4) Separate feelings and emotions from truth;

5) Understand clearly why you are feeling what you are feeling;

6) Determine if your emotions are out of control because of a life event;

6) Take all individuals out of the picture and turn the light on you; and finally,

7) Ask yourself if your thoughts are the making of an incredible writing that is calling out to you.

Writer take all of your woe characters running through your mind, get them suitcases, pack them up, and place them on a plane to another environment. After you get them all there, find out which ones shine brightly, and can make for a Best Selling Novel!

After the first step . . .

BLOG SESSION

January 19th, 2018

Good Afternoon Writers ~ We are here for an important Blog Session that is a follow-up to our last Session, "Beyond the Red Door".

This afternoon, you'll need to grab your Journal so that you may take notes, because we are going to talk about what happens "After the first step . . ."

Journal Notes

In order to really get your mind primed for the true writing experience that is specific to you dear Writer, you'll need to take a moment to sit still.

Right here, right now, just simply take a moment to look at the artistic design that sits right above the words "Journal Notes". Look at it long enough to make a note of three distinct thoughts that cross your mind as you study the design before you. Write the three thoughts that come to your consciousness in your Journal.

Pause for reflection and thought

The next thing you'll want to do is make a note of whether or not you found it difficult to manifest the three distinct thoughts in the form of written statements in your Journal.

Why are you making a note of three distinct thoughts that cross your mind as you study the design? . . .

We are taking a few moments today to check in with ourselves to find out just where our heads are at. How are we thinking? Are we really thinking at all? Are we thinking about what we are doing at any given moment, or are we just buzzing through the day?

In order to get "Beyond the Red Door", you have to begin by taking the first step. As we discussed in our last Blog Session, your first step has to be in the direction of where your story begins ~ starting with -- The title.

Here is the beauty of coming up with your story title ~ you begin to watch the plot appear, then the location and scenes will jump out at you. And the next thing you know, the characters will come to life.

Understand that visuals are powerful. Simply by looking at the visual at the top of this Blog Session, you'll develop your own thoughts about that red door. When you visualize in your mind taking the first step to proceed toward the red door, you'll no doubt notice the depth of the steps. You'll also make up in your mind how easy it is to get up the steps to the door. You'll also immediately notice that the door is slightly open. . .

As you visualize in your mind walking beyond the red door, do you see anything there that stands out? If so, what exactly is that? -- please write it down in your Journal.

Writers, you've already taken your first step in this process, and your story has already begun.

We'll be back, and when we come back please have your Diary and/or Journal with you. You'll be surprised at what's next!
