Pause.
Sit in silence while looking at this art for a minute or two. Give it your full attention.
Practice.
Set a timer for 10 minutes and respond to “Taming Wild Animals” by journaling in response to one or more of these questions:
How do you experience the shimmers of your creative practice?
What anxieties do you have about your writing?
What do you need to say more of? What do you need to write about in the coming days, weeks, and months?
Want More?
I love this piece by Lisa Bubert on the writer profiles we all need to read ASAP: ”Odd, Genius, or Something In Between: A Reading List on Writers”
