  • Inspiration?

    You’re the meaning in my life, you’re the inspiration…Oops sorry. Got that song stuck in my head now.

    So, I was reading my horrorscope today and look what it said:
    “The Moon’s entry into your 12th House of Imagination can jump-start a fantasy today. But you’ll need to suspend disbelief in order for the dream to take hold. Don’t waste energy now trying to clarify the fiction and flush out the facts. Just appreciate the whole story for the creative masterpiece it is; you can always come back and analyze it on another day.”

    It’s interesting as my online critique group and I were discussing this sort of thing just yesterday. Do you just let it flow? Do you tweak as you go? Some of us are tweakers and agonize how long it takes to get a first draft down. Some of us are flow types and agonize over how long it takes us to edit. Looking over my horoscope, I guess it means I should just write down whatever comes to mind during my writing session this afternoon and worry about editing and fixing and adding to it some other time.

    Sweet. I can handle that. :)
