Intersection of Thought

Some of a writer's most creative work comes from the intersection of thought. The more you read and learn, the more coincidences in ideas you will find. There are endless parallel concepts that thread their way through the world's disciplines and philosophies. An idea you find in the field of psychology may also appear in the field of science, for example. It may be dressed in slightly different regalia, but it is the same basic idea nonetheless. These repeated ideas are the universal truths that help us understand our world, whether we're dealing in biology or music, in art or engineering. It is in these intersections of thought that writers can find their most innovative creations. The juxtaposition of two seemingly opposites melding into a single truth can result in compelling writing that helps readers see the world in new and exciting ways. Look for these special places where thoughts intersect and use them fully to create the kind of writing you may have previously only dreamed about. Join together those things that seem unlikely companions, look for the threads of similarity in everything you encounter, and watch your writing bloom like the proverbial desert rose.
