My New Slogan‼️😂💰
You know, for a long time, I struggled to find quiet moments for my creative writing. Life is just so busy, right? But something interesting happened recently. I started noticing how many hours I spend during an online call for work or various projects. At first, I thought these calls were a complete creativity drain. All those voices, the screen, the endless agenda points… Then, one day, I had an epiphany. What if I shifted my perspective? What if these calls, rather than being a distraction, could become a unique source of inspiration for my poems? It sounds a bit wild, I know, but hear me out. As an author, my mind is always looking for stories, emotions, and subtle details. And online calls, believe it or not, are full of them. I began to observe. The fleeting expressions on people's faces, the way light catches a colleague's background, the accidental poetry in someone's phrasing when they're explaining a complex idea. Sometimes, the silence between sentences can be incredibly profound. I started carrying a small notebook or opening a separate digital document during calls, just for jotting down observations, phrases, or feelings that struck me. Not to be rude, of course, but to capture those fleeting moments of inspiration without disrupting the meeting. It's about being discreet and respectful of the primary purpose of the call, while still nurturing your creative impulse. One of the biggest challenges was focusing both on the call and on my creative thoughts. My trick? I treat it like a background hum, a soundtrack to my internal monologue. I actively listen for key points, participate when needed, but in the moments when I'm not speaking, instead of zoning out, I zone in on my creative process. It's like having a dedicated thinking space that miraculously appears during scheduled work time! This technique has not only made these calls more bearable but also genuinely productive for my writing craft. I’ve even found that the rhythm of conversations can inspire meter or rhyme schemes. The way different people contribute, the ebb and flow of a discussion – it all has a musicality if you listen closely enough. It's not about writing a full poem right there and then, but about gathering seeds. These seeds then blossom into complete works later, often when I'm reviewing my notes from various calls. I've written several pieces that directly or indirectly stem from specific moments or themes I experienced during an online call. For those of you who are aspiring writers or just looking for unconventional ways to spark creativity, I highly recommend trying this. You might be surprised at how much rich material is hiding in plain sight, even in the most mundane of virtual interactions. It’s about being present, yet also allowing your mind to wander creatively. It’s shifted my whole approach to finding writing time, turning what used to be a passive activity into an active source of artistic output. And who knows, maybe the next great line for your poem is just waiting for you to notice it in your next virtual meeting. Give it a shot; you might just discover your next great poem during your next meeting!
