Ray Bradbury - was just watching an interview with him where he hammered on this. He had a sign above his typewriter that said, “Don’t think.” he felt strongly it should be a living experience. And that it’s very important to surprise yourself, to find out who you really are.
YASSSS! I almost never think! Especially if I’m writing. (Move the hand) I have written stacks against “ideas” - they never work out for me. I have to feel the body of the character, the impulse, and then let them speak (or hold silence).
Not me singing the title of your post to my cat 😺
Love this, Emma! We all really need it right now! Hope I get to see you one of these days! xoxoxo
Thanks Cynthia! I am downtown very rarely these days, but it would be lovely to see you too! Sending you a big hug!
Me too! Would love to see you!💕
