This was very helpful! 'Warming up' before creating art rather than attempting to jump straight into it.

I'm so glad! I think writers don't think enough about warming up, and it's definitely something we can learn from other creative practices!

Definitely! I know I have hardly ever thought about it hehe. Until now, though.

this conversation is reminding me that my friend Emily talked about this, too--for her it was influenced by watching musicians in her family as they warmed up. so maybe this is really something we need to get better at stealing from other art forms! ;)

I agree! It's interesting to think about why warming up is not a more common practice among writers (that I know of).
