Moodling

If You Wnat to Write by Brenda Ueland

Chapter IV: The Imagination Works Slowly and Quietly

"There is more to life than increasing its speed" -M. Gandhi

"Our Idea that we must always be energetic and active is all wrong," says Brenda Ueland in Chapter 4 of her great book. she encourages us to be idle, to "moodle" as she puts it.

creativity and inspiration strike when sewn into fertiloe boredom, idleness and relaxed free time.

Be patient. It will come to you.


Next: connections between Ueland and richo on the topic of fear and control. When you try to control everything it ruins the 'work' and the creativity.

More later....
