Maybe I’m just not a spiritual person. Actually, that’s the premise of a book of mine coming out next year from @Oghma Creative Media , called The Dog Path to Enlightenment. Still, the benefits of meditation have been documented in studies about physical health, psychological health. And so while I don’t call it meditation, I do sit still, and breathe to the count of 50 breaths. #Meditation #Spirituality #Breathing #CountingBreaths #Writinglife #WritingLifestyle #CreativeLife #SpiritualPractice #SpiritualPractices #MondayMeditation #ForYou #ForYouPage #fypage

lly spoke the words out loud. So a character with the ability to read, microscopic, facial movement or energy would be able to actually read, every thought that went through a person’s head without the telepath’s unpleasant side effect of having to listen to the random thoughts of the whole world. #FantasyWriting #FantasyCharacter #FantasyNovel #AmWriting #AmWritingFantasy #WritingFantasy #CreatingCharacters #CharacterStudy #WritersOfTiktok #AuthorTalk #AuthorsOfTikTok. #authortok #authortokfyp

Nothing grounds me and helps me sort through my chaotic thoughts like a physical journal. There’s so many things that I love about writing on the computer. I don’t know if I could’ve been a writer in the days before non-linear editing became possible thanks to computers. But I also find that the very ears of digital writing gets in the way of the core benefit of journaling my way through my struggles. #Writing #Journaling #JournalWriting #JournalBooks #WritingAjournal #WritingJournals #writinglife #Writingcommunity #Selfdiscovery #wednesdaywisdom

What would happen in your writing, your art, your life even if you viewed rules as simply a starting point? The track where you board the train of creative endeavor going somewhere new. The tee that holds up the germ of your idea for the driver of your imagination to hit into the distance. Rules become something you go to to launch, not someplace you deliver yourself and your work to. #Writing #Creativity #Art #Inspiration #Rules #BreakingRules #rulesoflife #tuesdaymotivation #rulebreaker #creativelife #writingadvice #writingtips #philosophy #philosophyofart

Beware taking advice on your writing too literally. Too linearly. Always be learning and listening to critiques, but hand over those things to your imaginative, unconscious and trust that they will bloom there and percolate into your writing. ##writing##rewriting##storystructure##plot##plotstructure##writingadvice##writeradvice##writingadvicefromwriters##writingtips##writingtip##author##authorsoftiktok##WritingPlot ##ImWriting##Author##amwriting##HowToWrite ##writinglife ##writinglifestyle##writersoftiktok##writingtips##authortok##authortokfyp##booktok##books##authorsoftiktok##author##authorslife##authorphilosophy##writertok##writertoker##writing ##creative##creativity##myphilosophy ##foryoupage

Being blocked as an artist is often the result of one of two things: demanding a masterpieces to justify your efforts or driving your creativity into exhaustion when it does show up. This humble exercise can cure both problems: filling a page with shapes and lines without aiming for product at all and then stopping yourself while you’re still capable of doing more. the corner stone is doing it every day without regard to whether it’s good or great, without having a product that you’re going to finish, without having to find inspiration in some thing before you pick up the pen or pencil to draw. And to do without regard to outcome, and to stop when the task is done so you learn to let the creative well replenish itself will teach you to value the process and to honor the creative genius within you. #C#CreativityB#BlockA#ArtistBlockI#ImpostorComplexI#ImposterSyndromeC#CreativeC#CreativUnconsciousgCreativityh#honoryourcreativityT#TrustYourselfA#ArtistExerciseA#ArtExerciseO#Overcoming#A#ArtistA#ArtistsAdvicen#nextlevelM#MakingartI#InspirationC#CreativeInspirationC#CreativityCoacha#artistontiktok#a#artistsoftokI#ImposterComplexC#Confidencef#fypi#innercompassc#creativejourney#A#ArtistEncouragementE#Encouragementa#artistslife#c#creativelifec#creativelifestyleb#believeinyourself

Taking a writer’s walk to integrate ideas into my unconscious that I get from reading and watching videos. Today I watched an Stanford economics class lecture by Robert Reich and thought, “I can use this for my next book!” BUT… an abstract concept can derail a story. So i walk to try to hand it over to my unconscious. #creativeunconscious #worldbuilding #robertreich #economics #w#writingW#WritingTipsstanford #onlineclass #W#WritingTipW#WritingTipsAndTricksA#AuthorA#AuthorAdviceA#AuthorsOfTikTok#t#thursdaymotivationp#processm#mywritingprocessw#writingprocesss#storytellingc#creativityc#creativewritingh#howtowrite

“Show Don’t Tell” advice is best applied during the rewrite phase. Don’t let it interfere with getting the story down in the first draft. A lot of the telling you do in the first draft is for you, the writer, as you flesh out the story in your imagination. #showdonttell #writing #WritingTips #Rewriting #WritingTip #WritingTipsAndTricks #Author #AuthorAdvice #AuthorsOfTikTok #thursdaymotivation #process #mywritingprocess #writingprocess #storytelling #creativity #creativewriting #howtowrite #howtowriteabook

The secret to a full life is to keep doing novel things. To resist the urge to dismiss experiences because you pre-judge them as not that interesting or worth your time. If you’ve never done it before, and you have no risk involved beyond expending a little of your time, then do it. It interrupts the headlong hurry of time, if nothing else. It puts a pause, a grace note that prevents the sameness of everyday habit from eliding time into a single vanishing stream. #italy #italiancountryside #emigliaromagna #valditaro #nomad #nomadiclife #wanderer #wanderlust #fyp #philosophy #philosophytiktok #creativesociety #breakfree #authenticity #creativity #writer #wisewords #wisdom #wisewomen #DailyInspiration #dailywisdom #CreativesOfTikTok #ArtistLife #WritersLife #CreativeLife #CreativeHappyLife #CreativeLifestyle #ArtistCommunity #ArtistLifestyle #fypage #foryou #secrettohappiness
