3 D on’t break the line – words
11
Try it. Write short pieces of text or just the same word over and over again in joined up writing. The text becomes a heartbeat, a pulse, a living rhythm and the pen or pencil pressure and speed will increase or decrease depending on you and your mood. Do try to get to a place where the tone is even and you relax into a natural rhythm. Try and keep the text ‘neat’ on the page filling the space rather than invading it. Let the word become the picture; it is line, shape and form – no longer a word with any particular meaning.
Continual line interweaves many of the creative wellbeing techniques. A particular example of an unbroken line that gave inspiration was the word ‘love’ repeated in joined-up writing on the side of a building. The appeal was in the rhythmic quality of the scribe and the potency of the word love combined.
Being creative keeps you well
