Magic and touchstones
Copyright 2002-2008 by Beth Mende Conny. All rights reserved in all media.
Some objects have magical qualities. Favorite mugs or rings, colorful T-shirts or figurines - when we look at or hold them, we feel comforted, as if we were in the company of near and dear friends. Why not let this friendship extend to your writing?
Find an object and let it become your touchstone. Imagine that it holds your purest, most creative thoughts, and that with just one touch or glance, the thoughts will be released.
Choose an object you can take with you to work or on vacation, or simply from room to room. Let it sit with you, so you can make eye contact and enjoy the presence of a good friend.
