I feel like I paint through the fog (well, most days even). I whole-heartedly believe in what you said about the importance of sitting down and just writing (even when you are not feeling so inspired). It seems that when you do, you are giving yourself a chance for something to happen. From my own experiences in the studio I know that if I can just get the paint brush moving, thats when good stuff can happen (since lightning doesn't strike very often). Pinterest is such a great tool, I love looking back at what I've collected and seeing patterns emerge; its greatly satisfying. Thanks for your comment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16994398611187867147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5436174537542602001.post-7875095349262526152014-07-07T09:47:44.226-07:002014-07-07T09:47:44.226-07:00With me it's definitely writing. I use pintere...With me it's definitely writing. I use pinterest a lot, to form story boards and collect relevant links, and that keeps me going through the inspiration-less days. Sometimes things just click, and a character pops into my head. Then I have to sit down and just write - start with a description, or a feeling, and write through the fog until something emerges and suddenly there's new characters, spontaneous dialogue, interesting back-story. But it takes the mechanics of sitting down and actually writing to get to that point.Becca McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339982441409936532noreply@blogger.com
