Blank Canvas

"It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas."  Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) French Postimpressionist artist

For the writers and artists who look out a picture window on a Sunday morning to see blue sky, void of clouds, and steam coming off the road.  A picture to become part your canvas as you create your story line.  
Writing, hour after hour, the sky fills with puffy grey clouds and a thunderstorm threatens.     
The canvas changes, as does the scene within the story.
The setting, plot, characters ebb and flow.    
No blank canvas, no writers block, bliss at the keyboard.  Oh happy day!   

Take a Risk

Motivation to Write

Its not the answer that enlightens us, but the question.   Eugene Ionesco

When the time is ripe,  the vision will come.   Joyce Rupp

       The desire to write, "feel" the characters, and develop the story may not come easy.
        What works on a good day for some, isn't the answer for the rest of us. 

Try these:

• Stay excited about the possibilities- Let your imagination wander
• Change what you can- Let go of those things you can't change.
• Take a risk - Believe in yourself; be confident; take action   
• Enjoy the Ride - Search your inner creative spark
• Never reach your destination - Success comes to those that wait and find answers.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in uncommon hours.  Henry David Thoreau
