Creation

I won't be blogging tomorrow, so instead of leaving you with the rambling, boring post I typed this morning (see "Catching Up"... or not), I'm submitting another post--short and hopefully inspiring.

I have two immediate projects on my plate. I need to write a proposal for the second story of THE CHAMELEON CHRONICLES plus the entire manuscript for my second western, ROMANCING THE WEST. Starting a creative project is both exciting and scary. I have visions, but nothing concrete.  I just came across this quote and wanted to share it with you. May those who are embarking on a new project find inspiration in these words.  Just a sentence, but it implies so very much.

"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."
~~Michelangelo

Awww... so inspiring. I just hate that it takes many, many, many (many) rewrites to set it free. :-)

I think Mick was just tired of answering the question. A similar saying--I don't know who said it right off--is that he took away the parts that weren't the angel.

Sounds like a comparison to editing. And making statues out of clay might be like writing, and probably closer to how I write. I write and write, then edit and edit, then write and write, then write and edit, the edit, then write. If it were a clay statue, I'd throw a bunch of clay together, scrape a bunch away, throw on some more, scrape off some more, throw one, throw on, scrape off....

That WAS inspiring Beth. Now I figured out how my hero will escape the clutches of mutant zombies! A renigade angel with a dark past and a machine gun!

Haha, I joke I joke! (The dark past is too campy, stick with the machine gun)

I will put that to mind when stuck on my writing adventures!
