" trust themselves as a faithful source of inventiveness"
"imagination demands more effort and risk than force"
"patterns and associations with special promise"
diligence and decisiveness
Listening then collecting, and then imagining
I am so glad they use oxford commas in this publication. It would drive me crazy otherwise.
varied playful perspectives
Is anyone else plagued by this sense that all that can be written has been written?
I adore minimalism, but shy away from simplicity, especially when toying with improvising on the piano. Listening to Goldmund while reading and writing reflections has been an encouragement
No formal beginnings? But I'm great at starting projects! If I could major in starting projects, I'd kick ass. But alas, I have settled with music and have trouble finishing projects. The idea of an ever continuing project is rather new. In a world of extremes, a middle ground is found - neither beginning, sometimes ending?
"lacking in spontenaity"
Is this what draws so many to writing? They imagine a starving artist at the point of driving themselves mad trying to create a fantastic creation? The writing blocks, the sudden inspirations, the big success? How often are we taught the process of writing other than being given assignments in school? We are told what to write, how large the margins must be, but it all is so impersonal.
double writing sounds interesting. i have no projects, but the practice of summarizing as well as commenting sounds like a good habit to form
"Imagination works best in moderation"
"noticing, organizing, and associating"
"fiction that imagination lies hiding within them"
So true! We just are productions of others, of those surrounding us, of what we expose ourselves to.
"what oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed."
Feels like an encouragement, huh?
"Perfectionism ... diminishes when we turn from thinking to doing."
"We may have to become geniuses the hard way. Pity."
I feel, even if I try to read slow, after a while I start to skim because I lose interest in the text. Not that its boring, but that my mind tends to wander. Time for a break? THANK GOD I'VE READ AS FAR AS I NEED TO.
(Not that I don't like the reading, Donna!)
