Love this quote about the seed Kern! What you write here seems so obvious - everything begins with the dreaming/ imagining of new possibilities. Yet how few people dare to imagine, and dream... It is one of the saddest things I see around me. Keep on imagining! (I'm going to get your book now)

I like this way of thinking! To properly dream about your future, it's not about only waiting for things you want to accomplish but also understanding what changes you need to make to yourself, your mindset, and your situation to make those dreams happen. A very powerful quote you've included at the end too. Thanks a lot for sharing this thought-provoking piece!

This was so lovely. I definitely have found myself with a few new characters and stories through daydreams myself. Imagination is the best tool!

Interesting. yes I believe imagination is the key component Kern.

Not thinking about a problem too, shifting your focus away from current impasse can unlock creative answers when you least expect them. I realized you have to let the brain wander a bit. It happens to me all the time when I'm composing pieces for classic guitar, forcing composition is no good -- nothing happens. It can take a few days for clarity with chance thoughts to make random connections to a theme that I desire. This always for me, will inevitably trigger a new approach, by scrapping an initial attempt, to produce work that has energy that will see the project reach its conclusion. Yes you are right about imagination, but the brain has to have a break,in order to give you more ideas LOL

Counter intuitive I know, but it works for me.
