Why should we all use our creative power….? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, lively, bold and compassionate, so indifferent to fighting and the accumulation of objects and money.

Brenda Ueland

I found that many gifted people are so afraid of writing a poor story that they cannot summon the nerve to write a single sentence for months.

Fun People Writing
Writing is the action of thinking, just as drawing is the action of seeing and composing music is the action of hearing.

Drawing Thinking Writing
The only good teachers for you are those friends who love you, who think you are interesting, or very important, or wonderfully funny.

Love You Teacher Thinking
The only way to love a person is…by listening to them and seeing and believing in the god, in the poet, in them. For by doing this, you keep the god and the poet alive and make it flourish.
BRENDA UELAND

Alive Believe Listening
Creative listeners are those who want you to be recklessly yourself, even at your very worst, even vituperative, bad-tempered. They are laughing and just delighted with any manifestation of yourself, bad or good.

Love You Mean Nice
To have the external pressure of a job removed is very astonishing. Your own will is now your only motor and it has no horse-power.

Horse Jobs Morning
Now some people when they sit down to write and nothing special comes, no good ideas, are so frightened that they drink a lot of strong coffee to hurry them up, or smoke packages of cigarettes, or take drugs or get drunk.

Coffee Strong Writing
Know that it is good to work. Work with love and think of liking it when you do it.

Knows Thinking Work
Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we really listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other. We are constantly being re-created.

Families are great murderers of the creative impulsive, particularly husbands.

Creative Husband Murderer
If we don’t act at all (express our imaginings either in work or a changing personality, so that we can learn and think again something better) we certainly rot.

Change Thinking Work
the only way to become a better writer is to become a better person.

Better Person Way Writing
I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like child stringing beads in kindergarten, – happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another.

Children Creativity Writing
You can argue with a theologian or a politician, but doctors are sacrosanct. They know; you do not. Science has its mystique much more powerful than any religion active today.
BRENDA UELAND

Active Religion Science Today
You must become aware of the richness in you and come to believe in it and know it is there, so that you can write opulently and with self-trust. If you once become aware of it and have faith in it, you will be all right.

Believe Self Writing
Think of yourself as incandescent power, illuminated perhaps and forever talked to by God and his messengers.
