Letting it flow… I stopped fighting it and just let it go… That means, if it is 8:00 pm on a Tuesday an idea strikes, I either write it down or I break out the stuff and get to work - the latter has been what I have done lately. I just go with it!
Also, when I go to a crop at a store, I still let it flow. I follow the paper and the pictures and see what happens. I might really be into using my circle cutter, so I break it out and create a few layouts using it in different ways. I might break out a tear edger and let it go… Sometimes, I just start and see where it all goes!
What I guess I am trying to say is that I am no longer fighting it… whatever the ideas are I just take them and run with them. No preconceived ideas or notions, just pure creative freedom. If, at any point, I start to feel the stress building or frustration setting in, at any level, no matter how small, I stop - immediately - and put it away. It is supposed to be fun, not work. Creative, not stress.
Mojo tip #4 - let it ride…
