Thank you for discussing this multilayered subject. I too would love to hear what other creators do. Before I saddle up to my laptop to work on my novel, I light a sage stick and cleanse the air, saying a prayer that God helps me use the talent he gave me, create something that will move people. I often listen to Native American music when I'm writing. A lavender candle burns on my table near my laptop. All of these things may sound silly, but I believe they help center me, become one with the universal energy. When I take the time to do these things before I write, it shows the quality of my work more than the quantity.

I listened to Rubin’s book, and then bought a hard copy so I could meander at will through all the morsels of insight and inspiration. I love what you’ve done here to show the endless variety of ways creatives access their spark. And now I want to know more about your visual work and this journey you are on.
