Writing in the Art of Zen

Ray Bradbury on writing:

Work.  Relaxation.  Don't think.

"An athlete may run 10,000 miles in order to prepare for 100 yards.  Quantity gives experience.  From experience alone can quality come."

"Suddenly a natural rhythm is achieved.  The body thinks for itself." 

"You begin to write as you...There is only one type of story in the world: your story."

Rewrite as many times to do your best.  There are no failures, just lessons, so keep learning - Kendra Bonnett, Writing Alchemy on Youtube

I'm practicing writing on my moleskin.  The method I'm using is a combination of free association and zen-like focused flow with only the topic as the guide, which means that it may have incomplete phrase-like sentences and may even swing the other way to stream of consciousness run-on sentences.  What I will attempt to do is to not cross out any part of it, so that whatever is written is there, not corrected, in it's original form.  At first it will be slow-going to get the flow, as it has already been in these first couple of entries.  But as I keep writing, I hope it will become as natural as any other skill I've developed.
