This week has been a bit of an exercise in frustration, and a reminder that writing is not all about just getting words on the page. Sometimes it’s about sitting there, staring into space, maybe for hours, with the same song on repeat. Or going for a long drive, or a run, or sitting on the bus with that song on repeat. Or delving back into your research to try and pad out some ideas, or generate new ones. All the while, with that one song on repeat.
It doesn’t feel very productive, but this is also the kind of thing I rarely get time to do in the normal course of things.
So, in the interests of at least presenting an appearance of productivity, here are a few snippets of visual inspiration I found while trawling through Pinterest.
This part of the process can be frustrating, sometimes. But I think it’s my favourite part (definitely more than the first draft part).
Good luck with it! I’ll be interested to see what you make out of those images.
You’re right – the dreaming part is fun. I think I’m just conscious I have a limited time to get a lot done. #NoPressure
You do like a challenge! 😀
