Take one extraordinary mind.

Add four tablespoons of fresh ideas
(Assorted flavors work best),
Two cups of emotion,
And a pinch of eccentricity.

Stir well,
Seasoning with experience
At regular intervals (to taste).

Bake for several years
Until creativity forms,
Then let sit for another few years
Until motivation rises.

Enjoy indefinitely!

Share your favorite recipe! It can be a real recipe for food or beverage OR it can be a totally made up one. Your choice!

I took the opportunity to imagine what makes a writer, and it was a lot of fun trying to write it all in the form of a recipe! I hope you enjoy what I’ve written. Thanks for reading!
