Day to day stuff....a memoir without order. |
Imagination is described by Webster as...The act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses in reality. Albert Einstein said "Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere." I never realized it until I read it somewhere but there are ways to boost one's imagination: Create a visual journal Draw whatever you see for 15 minutes a day. You don't need to be an artist. Think like an artist Cut out pictures from magazines & piece them together to create an original image. Listen to Bach Close your eyes while playing your favorite music. Or listen to the sounds of nature on a CD or in the great outdoors. Play word games Try thinking of as many words as you can that begin with MAR...or you pick. Daydream Let your mind wander, or focus on a single object & study its characteristics. Everyone has a story....here's mine.....c |
Yesterday, I received an email from someone that I'm not sure how I met or found, but I had added my email to her email list. To make a long story short, she asked if I would be interested in being "an early reader" for her newest unpublished book, a mystery. She offered to send a .doc, an electronic file to my Kindle, or a paperback copy. I thought about it and decided to comply, requesting the paperback copy. I do love mysteries. It turns out this is her second book of a series so I have put a library "hold" on number one. She is a local author, should be an interesting experience. I'll let you know how it turns out. until next time...c |
