Little thoughts

A sign into the creative mind

There's always something on my mind,

somehow trying to improve myself.

You understand if you're a writer, artists as well.

That thought in the middle of the night you get,

of inspiration.

There's a black bird in my head, 

trying to fly out of the nest.

Yet, we erase over and over again,

until we get it right. 

It's like a movie playing itself out,

a story.

We all have these thoughts, 

because we're creative in everything we do.

At the end of the day, 

we wish we were our stories.

very freaking true. I like the flow of this and yup we do wish we were our stories. Thanks for sharing. :)

I love the flow of this. It makes me only so happy to see it. This is what you must follow. This is your magnum opus.
But yes, this is what happens. A good idea in the bad time can become unappealing and obsolete.

At the end of the day, you say, we wish we were our stories. I love the image of the blackbird, that you take your collection of images and rework them over and over again, until you've refined them and created something very interesting. Everything has some interest, but it delights us to work with these bits of image and story and life to express and communicate with our friends, loved ones, future friends, acquaintances, etc.

Little thoughts leading to little great things. The black bird always flies around at night, for me too. Like this a lot. The way it is structured is amazing, simple and pinpoints every writers' day dreaming and sleepless nights :)
