Being free form in thought opens the dam waters, permitting the water to ooze from its source and spill onto the papyrus or monitor. Many of us select the modern technology to spill out our creativity and there are those who cherish the hands on media of quill and paper. Paper can be creatively developed by our artistic hands or purchased at the store. Whichever one chooses is fine; what counts is expression manipulated by metaphor or simile. Get these two modes of written expression ignited and feel the inner Shakespeare come alive from mere mortal thinking. Those words shall stand erect and reverberate not only in the individual's mind, but on a format written in the language she or he understands.
Mere words can touch us like a hand caressing a feline or words can be filled with malevolence. Words are the sculptor's hands as they mold the story befitting to the author's intentions. Expression is the confession of the author. I confess that I have been using media, whether it be journals or social media, to enhance creative thought. Therapeutic is this for writing summons the inner demons and angels to the surface of the brimming ocean. The white caps of the waves signify the rough seas are coming and haunting the inner anxiety of blocked thought. When this malady occurs seek a muse to inspire by setting a fire within one's brain. The sane along with the insane walk hand in hand towards the light which shines the brightest.
