This message from the Universe dropped in my inbox on Monday. I’d had a good writing day over the weekend followed by a so-so day followed by a “I am going to frickin’ write else” day on Monday. That was my thought as I opened my inbox and started sorting email. And found the following. It doesn’t really need much intro…

It’s not from the known, Silver, but the unknown that creativity and inventiveness are born.

Turn away from the predictable, cliché, and reliable. Brave the void where the darkness is greatest. Trust the quiet, find the stillness, feel the calm. Then steadily think, speak, and move as if you were led. Behave as if your vision were clear.

Anticipate the emotional rush that will come with your triumph. And as if by magic, as you raise your pen to write, you’ll find the words have already been summoned, flooded in light that was there all along, in a world that has just as anxiously anticipated your arrival.

Just don’t let them worship you, Silver.

Tallyho,
The Universe

P.S. Metaphorically, Silver.

And just like it didn’t need an intro, it doesn’t really need a summary. Writers, I know you’ll *get* this message. At the same time, I hope that folks in general understand and apply it in their own lives. Hope your day is a good one!
