A Quick Creative Practice
~simple habits can have profound impacts~
Keep a tablet and a pen or pencil on your bedside table at all times!
DREAMS
If you wake with a dream still in reach, jot it down immediately. If you want to fall back to sleep, don’t worry about transcribing the full dream. If you write the most important words and images you’re likely to remember the connecting links later.
SOLUTIONS
Those transitional times just before falling asleep or waking—especially from a nap—are rich times for problem-solving and inspirational ideas. Having paper and pencil nearby will allow you to capture these gems that might otherwise disappear from your mind as the world crowds in.
SKETCHES
The tablet isn’t just for words. If you’re like me, you’ll sometimes *see* images that need to be painted or drawn. Make quick sketches before they too are lost to time.

I can’t believe I found your group…..it is
wonderful. I write poems, some have been
published. I write simple, memorable poems
and asseys when I feel like it.
I must ask, how does this work? Can I attach
this somehow to my blog? I have a general
blog, one for my poems and one for the crafts I make. Last, but not least one for my grandchildren. They all are in the process of just starting up…all need a lot of work and many pictures to be uploaded.
I really love to write, but I need help.
Thank you
