I often find that when I'm thinking too hard about an idea (e.g. a story plot), I get stuck. If I relax (e.g. meditate) and let the idea float around, then delightfully surprising things happen. In other words, too much ego involvement and ideas get bogged down; letting them go allows them to rearrange themselves according to their own intelligence.
I surrender to my Poetic Muse. She gives me the patience to let my ideas simmer like a homemade spaghetti sauce, always tastier the next day.
🧘♀️ I sit & wait….the Muse comes
