For a new story
These are the problems that I face when I need to write: (1) concentration and (2) inspiration. I ain’t interested in the first problem for now. That’s not because I distinguish one question from the other according to different importance values. They’re the same from this point of view. In fact, it’s because today I am more liable to think about the inspiration problem.
And today I was in this quest for an inspirational purpose to write. So I took a moment, just a few seconds in fact, in front of my computer and I took a deep breath to inhale some fresh air. I was really focused on the present moment and I could feel my own body and pursue my thoughts. In a fast connection established with that present moment of breath and concentration and my quest for inspiration I found a similarity, some kind of structure emerged from all this. I’ll try to explain this in a outline to show you how it works for me, even though it happens in a more spatial and superposed momentum, not in a time-lined schedule:
Inspiration > concentration > body > breath > inhale > inspire
To inspire is the verb that emerged in my mind as an answer to this problem. The dictionary definition can show us the variety of meanings that this verb has. But for me, the most important expression in this dictionary definition to think about writing is the idea of impel. When you inspire some air, you bring something that is beyond your body and between you and the world into your organism. The same happens in abstract actions where it can give your body a rhythm throughout a sort of movement. So it’s an inspirational movement that impels you to internalize the continuity of yourself just for the continuity of your moving creative body.
Your experiences mold the life of your inspiration moments and vice versa.
