I do several ...Shelby, that's a great question. I do several different things to clear the brain fog. First, I try to focus my creative energy on something other than writing. I'll make a little bear or sheep sculpture out of polymer clay, for instance, or I'll paint a picture, or grab my camera and take pictures. Often if I'm directing my creative energy elsewhere, my writing muse gets jealous and suddenly wakes up!<br /><br />Second, I sometimes do a crossword or other word puzzle. Just working with words without the pressure of putting them together in a cohesive fashion gets my mind in word mode.<br /><br />Last, sometimes I play with toys. Yes, toys. Like a kid (I'm 54). Who are the most creative people on earth? Kids, of course, who toss their birthday gifts aside to play with the box they've come in, or make dining room tables into forts, or turn their cat into a royal princess under a spell. Playing with kids puts me in a childlike (not childish) mood, and gets my creative juices flowing!Smokyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166485867757482746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896556628888822537.post-53006221258132202352011-08-04T13:19:12.816-04:002011-08-04T13:19:12.816-04:00Great giveaway!
