Using Triggers to Restart My Creative Innovative Inspiration

A writer should never allow anyone or anything to impose limits on their creative, innovative imagination!

Life, society, family, friends, laws, aging, poverty, and other factors will limit us. There are so many other areas in our lives where limitations come at us in ways we can't see or understand. Writers and Artists can't sit on one genre. They must be open to other areas of their field or profession. One is a loney number. Be and give your best without limitations. Limitation stifles growth and productivity. Disrupting your life's positive flow.

The image below says no limitations! I can be who or what I want to be. I like to experiment and try new things not limiting myself to what I use to create my art. Be innovative, and allow your imagination to soar to new heights.

I can be what I want to be. And so can you! Go above and beyond the sky. Don't be limited by the sky.

What does this image trigger for you?

A sunset of promises, to be back tomorrow with more hope. See how the sunset doesn't limit it's light or beauty. The sun gives its best to humanity every chance it gets.

This sunset offers inspiration and a promise to be back tomorrow. The sun goes down here today. It will enlighten and inspire someone else where it is. It doesn’t limit itself; see how it expands. This is how your inspiration should be. Unlimited!

Sunsets are promises to me. What does this image trigger for you?

As a writer, I refuse to limit myself. When inspiration visits, I find creative and innovative ways to keep it alive by moving with it. When my story is formed in my head, I use one word, idea, or image to secure it. Then, I record everything in my brain or on my PC. When I am ready to recharge my inspiration, it awaits me. I call them triggers. I have a story in my head about Success, Failure, and Pleasure. It’s already formed. Those three words will trigger my memory, allowing inspiration to flow when I am ready.

A sunrise for hope.

This triggers good intentions, actions, choices, and decisions, including hope, love, kindness, and all things positive.

A sunrise is always welcome no matter where in the world we are. It signals hope, warmth, life, and more for a new day.

I don’t have writer’s block YET! I pray I don’t. I am never too tired when inspiration visits and always follows it. By removing limitations from topics and areas I want to write about, I never run out of ideas.

Form your story as inspiration knocks at the door to your brain, heart, mind, or soul. Always answer the door, then find something or someone to trigger your story as you recharge. It will find it's way back.

After relaxing/recharging, use your trigger to pull the memory back in, and your story will flow right back in.

Writers must be creative and find ways to keep inspiration flowing. Never deny inspiration entry.

If your heart could speak, what would it say?

Creative, innovative, smart writers never deny inspiration the opportunity to enter. When writers do, it’s replaced by writer's block and leaves you hanging, desperately fighting for life.

Do you deny your creative, innovative imagination entry?
