Sometimes I'll be awake, sprawled out across my bed scratching away in the shadows of night for pages at a time. Because I embrace the Idea Waterfall I can't ignore these night muses no matter how frustrating it can be because I know I "should" be sleeping. 3am... 4am... 5am... the sun is starting to rise! GO TO SLEEP, MUSE! lol But, it's amazing what comes out when the house is quiet and there is nothing between my mind and my pen, not even a shining screen and the comfortable clicking of keys. It really is a "writing zone" and at that hour I'm not in work mode, everything that comes is pure inspiration and not with any intention of making things happen. I wish it were that easy in the light of day when deadlines are looming. I embrace my pen and paper when the ideas won’t leave me alone at night.

Getting a pen and paper and releasing our mind can be our pen to work. :-) One reason why we have trouble writing is that our minds are full of worries, thereby not allowing creativity to push through.

There's something about it that lights a fire under my creative muse. If I'm working on a copywriting project I read sales letters written by Jay Abraham. Even though he doesn't hire himself out as a copywriter anymore he's a master of sales psychology -- reading his writing awakens the salesman within. .-= Mike shares: <a href="http://simple-web-writing.com/2010/01/improve-your-writing/" rel="nofollow">Improve your writing</a> =-.
