On Freedom, Briefly (from Jody Feldman)

Perhaps my favorite quote combining freedom and creativity uses neither word.

“If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.”

– Juan Ramon Jimenez, Nobel Prize-winning poet

Why do I love it?
It’s what I always strive to do, figuratively.
And do, literally.
Brainstorming sheet from as-yet uncompleted manuscript.

    1. I love sketch books, but rarely get them. I do have a ream of 17" x 11" plain paper which is my go-to, brainstorming stock. For some reason, it frees me.

  3. I love things and thoughts that turn the normal upside down. Thanks Jody!

    1. When I found it, it felt like an attagirl, that I might be onto something.
