Writing from Kumquats
Recently in my morning writing class I was explaining if you get your mind out of the way to allow what wants to be written from the place of your deeper wisdom and knowing, (aka the intelligence of your heart) then what truly wants to be written will flow out. I exclaimed, “You could write about kumquats and you will end up in the story that wants to be told. So I then gave the class the assignment to write from the word kumquats. This seemed to stall out the rational mind allowing it more easily to surrender to the creative flow and everyone wrote from a deeper and more imaginative place
Writing Exercise: Start a ten minute freewrite with the word kumquats. Remember to really let go and let the writing lead.
