INSPIRING WRITING 2

A blank white canvas seats in front of me. Not a single word that courses through me from the neurons of the mind, activating the electrical jolts surging through the nerves to my fingers to even tap a single alphabet to form a word or even a sentence. The mysteries of writing?

I let idea/s to percolate in my mind first. Days, weeks, maybe months the idea/s remains in that state. A state of limbo. A state of hibernation. It is important that the idea/s stay in the state until one of the ideas begin to slowly erupts out of that cocoon of percolation.

Now! Let it flow through you and let the fingers work and you begin to sculpt the white canvas with sculptures of words, sentences, verbs and prose. Cause and effect work in tandem, a conflicting of harmony. Inspiration is a drug. A natural one at that as it acts as an adrenaline rush that pushes your mind and your body to create something which had percolated in the ridges of the mind and finally erupting out into the physical world of ours in the form of language where we understand.
