Free Form Thinking

Listen to "Free Form Thinking" on Spreaker. I've stood on many live stages. Lectured in front of several thousand. Been in that place where being on your feet is the expectation. Especially when it comes to being on the radio. Free Form thinking has always been part of the adventure. Some call it adlib or improv. Even with those you go into a project or idea with something somewhat prepared. Free Form thinking is right now in the moment. Ten seconds ago you were sipping on coffee and now you're writing or talking about subjects that honestly have nothing to do with anything you do. It's a fun exercise done daily. Make up story lines on the spot. If there's a pause for thought? Ten point deduction. On this podcast I talk about how we all put ourselves on this thinking path and countless times we hit walls that paint a completely different image. From being put on the spot in business meetings to hanging out with friends and family. When the ball is handed to you or you leap into a conversation because the feeling seems right then boom biff pow you're down and out. A lot of podcaster's choose this route. It makes it more about the moment. Real, vibrating and unexpected. In the end the goal is to get a reaction and or just accepted. I Free Form my daily writing but never present it outside the book until I've allowed it to collect a lot of dust. 100% of all my radio shows are pre-recorded. Once you get used to being a Free Form artist doesn't guarantee the end result is going to be agreed upon by all parties involved. I totally devour the inside of my mouth while sitting in meetings. I hold myself back from participating until all involved have thrown in their patterns of the process. As a creative mind whose paint brushes are sitting in several colors at a time, Free Form is a huge strength. So is discipline. Great ideas hit us every hour. In our heads they sound so perfect! Then we speak. Oh Oh... Be aware of your Free Form thinking.
