The main method I use to create is reflective journaling. The process involves taking note of not only my thoughts and feelings, like traditional journaling, but also noting things that may at first seem mundane.
Those birds that come to your feeder in the morning – is there something unique about them? Their colors? Their birdsong? If they could talk, what would they tell you?
Chronicling your dreams and your experiences during meditation is also key. Dreams come from our subconscious, your soul, and if we start to pay attention to them, we can pull many messages from them that we can use in our writing. Meditation takes us to similar states as dreams, except we are awake and more likely to remember our thoughts and visions.
Put all of these together, and you can create a story that comes from intuition – from YOU!
