Welcome to the world of UpOnWriting.com, where the rule of story telling is to speak first and foremost to our own hearts, and our audiences will be drawn accordingly.
I. Stay true to your creative desires throughout your writing.
Your creative drive is your ticket to embark on any journey you wish to take. Staying true to your inner bliss through your writing is both life altering and momentous. When you are joyful, your joy reverberates dynamically outward, impacting everyone around you with positive energy. Whether this reaction is visible to you or not, doors open and events conspire to accommodate your pursuit of that simple yet monumental indulgence of putting pen to paper and making your stories come alive. Stay with it, stay focused, and Write On!
II. Always follow the Giddy Factor
The Gid•dy Fac•tor: (thuh gid ee fak tur) n. 1. The urge to giggle and weep at the same moment. 2. The bubble of thrill that hovers between the throat and chest. 3. The sensory response to creative expression. 4. The knowing that this is right. 5. The map by which to navigate the journey of life. The bottom line? Write what you know, write what you feel, write what you wish for, write the impossible as possible, and most importantly, write without hesitation. Do this for yourself first, and the world around you will benefit.
III. Invest in the Creative Cycle
In The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron refers to creativity as a well from which we can draw ideas and inspiration when we create. She reminds us that we must fill the well to keep it from drying up. We fill our creative well through play and discovery, which lead to inspiration and action. At the point of action, the creative drive becomes the engine. And like any engine, the creative mind needs fuel and regular use to keep it healthy and virile. Writing is your outlet. Like painting, drawing, cooking, gardening, or any other activity that brings a sense of flow and expression, writing is a vital conduit between you and your creativity. And so the creative cycle continues. Use the Giddy Factor as your guide for both filling the well and drawing from its reserves.
