Why I love Writing . . . and Why I love Ray Bradbury

I love writing for the discovery! Often when I sit down to write I have no idea what's going to come out. I put my "Self" aside and just let go.

In the video below, Ray Bradbury (author of Dandelion Wine, Fahrenheit 451, the Martian Chronicles) talks about his process of writing.

"In the instant of getting an idea, I go act it out on paper. I don't put it away, I don't delight, I don't put off until tomorrow doing what I must do, right now, to find out what my Secret Self needs, wants, desires, with all its heart and then it speaks and I have enough brains to get out of the way and listen."

What does your Secret Self need, right now?
