Summers are now my fullest time to be creative, and I find myself walking and riding the bus through the city every opportunity I have. What happened in that building? Who are the people who created this neighborhood? What special feeling comes when walking down the street, and are there ghosts behind that? Perhaps silly, sometimes serious, those are times I just let myself wonder and wander until arriving at a library when I start to write. Thank you!

I think experiencing any other art form, such as music, does as well.

I'm at the stage of so many ideas for so many years that I don't write them down any longer unless I'm brainstorming something specific or unless it's a really stellar idea that I just couldn't bear to lose. If it's worth anything, it will persevere.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-48261605766666242902017-06-02T13:36:25.809-04:002017-06-02T13:36:25.809-04:00Thanks, Art!

I also can get a similar result from walking in nature of photographing outdoor images.

Howard Schwartz told his writing classes to keep a notebook on the nightstand for recording those flashes of inspiration that come in dreams. Ray Bradbury kept a drawer of ideas that didn't work in a piece, as fodder for future writing.
