Left Brain: “That’s all well and good to dream but the reality is....”
Right Brain: “Reality? Don’t we create our own reality?” ~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “I know someone who tried that and failed.”
Right Brain: “ If I connect this to that, and adjusted this, and added a bit of colour here, and oh wait, I have another idea..” and then adds, “hey, don’t we know someone who tried to make a light bulb hundreds of times?” ~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “It has to be done by Friday”
Right Brain: “What’s a Friday?” ~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “It’s a little late to start a new career, don’t you think?”
Right Brain: “oh goody goody goody, something new to connect more of the little synapses.” ~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “You have to have money to make money.”
Right Brain: “Oh, shut up. How can I create what we need when you are always nagging at me?” ~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “The books say I should do it this way.”
Right Brain: “Shhh.. I think I’m getting a message from the universe.” ~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “Who am I to think I can?”
Right Brain: “How are you even attached to me? I can do anything!” ~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “I’ve got to get this report done.”
Right Brain: “I’ve GOT TO PLAY!” ~~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “I’m stumped. I’m going to have to think more creatively to get past this issue.”
Right Brain: “Whoooaaaa, did you just ask me for help?” ~~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “Okay, we can do this if we come up with a plan that makes some sort of sense to me.”
Right Brain: “I don’t know what a plan is. I’m busy connecting the seemingly disconnected.” ~~~~~~~~~~

Imagine the possibilities when both sides of the brain work together!

Do you have a creative idea that you’d like to move forward on? Ask your left brain (politely) how it can help that idea come to fruition. (Or Contact me. I can mediate.)

Creativity is a subtle and magnificent dance between the rational and the intuitive, between the left and right parts of the brains, between technique and imagination. Both partners in this dance are absolutely necessary and are needed in equal proportion, which means that imagination is not more important than technique and visa versa. If you only live in the imagination, you will never get organized, you will never complete your story. However, if you start from the rational, linear, organizational part of the process, ( ie. Gotta have the perfect opening sentence and first paragraph...

Recently, I was considering the question of peace, which doesn't happen often while writing fiction. There's all that drama, love, hate, desire, envy and so on. Peace, with any luck, comes at the end of the novel. I was considering this aimlessly as I lay with my head on Phoebe's warm flank. Phoebe, being the sensitive, intuitive creature she is, immediately tuned into my musings and suggested we consider the question of love instead, which she quite rightly observed was a precursor to true peace.
