Incubation

[cathschaffstump]

Not just another word for procrastination, yesterday was an incubation day. I sat down to write, and instead I felt a churning at the back of my head that usually is my sign to take the day and work on something else creative while other things suss themselves out.

So, yesterday I sewed (a lot!) and let things stew. After I'm done on the computer today, I'll write a little bit, see where yesterday got me to.

Do any of you do this?

I spend time staring blankly at the ceiling while things stew over. Then at some point they seem to reach a critical mass and then writing them down is easy and fun.

It's quite different from my other two states of either putting it off cos I don't want to write the dull bit or being too ill to think in any coherent way.
