Writing - the art of...

Writing - the art of capturing a piece of one's imagination and committing it to print...

Advertising and selling books - the art of capturing enough of someone else's imagination enough to get them to buy a book... 

Focusing - the art of getting down to what needs doing, and trying not to wander off into a daydream, even if that daydream might be the spark for a new project... oh no, I've just given myself an excuse not to focus...

A Book is a Daydream shared

A book is a daydream shared... so why is daydreaming synonymous with wasting time...? From being children we are told to stop daydreaming - but why? It's like telling a child not to play - daydreaming allows your mind to play around with ideas and let your imagination run off into areas you might not expect...

 Daydreaming is not a waste of time, it's where the best ideas ramble about, the shy ideas, the ones that run at the sight of a pen or a keyboard...

Who's to say what is a waste of time...?
Some of my best ideas come to me when I look to the rest of the world as if I'm doing nothing - daydreaming.

In a busy world we sometimes need to find a moment of quiet to call our own. To let our imaginations run riot without the threat to a pen to trap and restrict those ideas.

Then when the imagination is in full flow, take those ramblings by surprise and start to write - write for yourself with no thought of what others might think if they read it and you might just surprise yourself what you come up with... editing can come later.

Books are a daydream shared...
