Quantum Storytelling

My smArtist friend made his post already, so I suppose mine is due. I’ve blogged in the past about the importance of taking breaks. If you have a decent camera and the will to explore, go get yourself some writing inspiration.

We went to a really cool abandoned grainery, and snapped some artsy shots. What becomes inspiring towards the writing aspect is what goes through your head as you wander some abandoned places like these. You often think “What was this for?” or “Why is this here?” when encountering mysterious mechanical devices and equipment. The environment begs many questions, which kickstarts the questioning mind.

Imagination is so often a visual exercise, as a writer you cannot afford to be without visual cues during the creative process. Get them wherever you can.
