Creative Flow Takes You off the Clock—into the Infinite

I wrote this letter to a colleague who dedicated years to writing a novel. It was not easy. When you chase something meaningful while navigating daily existence, you feel time’s tick. Yet there are moments when we slip wholly into creative flow that frees us to step out of time and connect with something greater.

Taking the creative leap may jump you to new places

Part of being a writer is facing rejection and waking up the next day to try again. I spent a few years submitting to literary journals—with poems accepted and rejected. But I kept taking the leap until I built up a collection and Madville Publishing accepted it. If you’re a creative, embrace your vulnerability and jump in.
