I am convinced that changing something about your physical situation could stimulate writing, or new ways of writing. For years I wished I could write but rarely produced anything substantial. When my situation changed significantly I had a period of very rapid creativity, as if years of ideas were being expelled. It is so interesting to hear how more freedom or indeed a constraint can affect the mental processes. Thank you, this was really interesting.
That's such a great success story and I agree with what you say. I think it takes experimenting. Sometimes there's the danger of 'how-to manuals' for writers and their spaces. I think they're great to respond to and think about, but ultimately we need to find our own way. Thanks Jules!
Perfect timing, my husband and I have been discussing kōans for the last few weeks! In terms of Myers Briggs, I definitely favor Feeling over Thinking, so yoga is really the only time I have the opportunity to rationalize a writing problem over getting caught up in the negative self-talk.
Fantastic, Kate. I love the playfulness of these physical koans. It's so easy to just slip into the obvious, the exploration makes you really begin to experiment. The notes of applying that to creativity in writing/structure etc was great and insightful! Thanks.

Liked this this morning. Opens your mind to how your body moves and why it moves that way.
Thanks Jon!
