Upon return, I conjure what was seen.
I let it pulse and boil within my limbs.
I lay my pencil to the porous page,
And let my lunatic indulge itself.
-Incubus “NEBULA”
Starting a project can seem really daunting at times. The blank page always laughing like a hyena at us, doubting our very ability to do what we were meant to do. “THIS ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH!” scaring us to the point where we don’t wanna write forward.
But we know what must be done MUST be done!
Yet we find ourselves stuck and ideas are absolutely nowhere to be found.
So what do we do when there’s a plateau?
We keep walking !
What really helps me is opening up my TextEdit and just letting loose.
Going from one idea to the next. And seeing what happens from there.
There is a certain beauty in not stopping what we’ve started. Just persevering through the plateau in order to finish. This is where the fun of letting our experience and subconscious allow us to create something out of nothing. Where we stop at nothing. judge nothing. and let everything happen.From one idea to the next. stream of consciousness. no corrections.
just connections.
If I wanted to talk about how undergroundhiphop.com has changed my life, I can do that ! If I wanted to talk about how excited I am for summer, I can do that too.
Remember, the point of brainstorming is just to get going.
Just getting every idea down on paper. Whether its just words, phrases, novels, pictures…. ANYTHING. Just get it down!
Afterwards, you can take a look at the chaos you’ve created and see that a pattern has emerged amongst the rubbles.
If not, who cares??!! TRY AGAIN!!!!
how do you guys like to get your creative juices going?
