Moodling....

Moodling is a term coined by Brenda Euland, freelance writer and memoirist, in her book, "If You Want To Write: A Book About Art, Independence and Spirit." Although originally published in 1938, her book is amazingly contemporary. The original use in context is, "So you see, imagination needs moodling _ long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering." The book is still available at the Writer's Store in audio and in print through Amazon

I found an old blog (2005) when I was googling to see if anyone else had discovered "moodling". Anne Johnson, blogger, writes her thoughts on how to tap into creative moodling.
