hearing what you write
3rd June 2017 | for Creatives | creative process, language, music, writing, poetry, artists must EXPERIENCE, Ursula K. Le Guin |
"I hear what I write. I started writing poetry when I was really young. I always hear it in my head. I realized that a lot of people who write about writing don't seem to hear it, don't listen to it, their perception is more theoretical and intellectual. But if it's happening in your body, if you are hearing what you write, then you can listen for the right cadence, which will help the sentence run clear."

The surprise of what you'll find
"The surprise of what you'll find after rendering an image and how different if often comes out is the exact same thing I love about writing poems."
from whence these creations come
"Call it whatever you like—spirit, soul, psyche, personality, ego, unified field, inner being. It is somewhere intangible, not physical, from whence these creations come. Yet, by being put down on paper—letters into words, words into paragraphs, paragraphs into an essay—they join the physical realm."
The sense of surprise
"I often start something and have no idea how it'll end. The sense of surprise there, to me, is like magic every time."
