No Paper? No Problem

The great thing about writing is that it’s always accessible. One thing I used to do before I committed to writing was journal with my finger tip. It helped me process my day and prepare for sleep. I’d do it pretty often. I even made my lists that way. These days I always use a pen or my phone. So I guess it’s not writing that’s always accessible but the ability to visualize. That is always accessible.

Some people speak highly of visualization. What do you think? Do you practice visualization?

I’ve tried it intentionally here and there when it comes to manifesting but haven’t really gotten into that. I definitely do it with the novel I’m working on but it’s natural for me to need to see what I’m writing in my minds eye. So when I’m writing, it’s not as intentional, it’s natural or even automatic. Even though I can see it clearly, I do miss details on the first draft. The good thing is that as I edit and add detail, the scene becomes more clear in my minds eye.

 I would visualize things coming to me. It would just make me feel better. Visualization works if you work hard. That’s the thing. You can’t just visualize and go eat a sandwich.
