Delicious Preps of a Writing Project

One pint sugar, half a pint salt, loads of ice, that’s how I make my lemonade.

Two pints of beaten coffee, full milk with occasional cream, that’s what makes my ideal cup of coffee.

How do you like yours?

An exacting culinary essence is made by mixing a series of individual flavors. There is no standard recipe for any culinary specialty, since it all depends, how creative a cook can get. Over time, I have come up with my own personal delights.

Now thinking, I wonder how does one get to invent a particular specialty. You get the basic ingredients, throw in some trial spices, cook on an intuitional-whim, tweak a few more ingredients and bingo, you get a new gastronomic delight.

Now let’s break it in pieces and pick up a thing or two from kitchen heroics.

When you cook creatively, you tend to stick to a few primary rules:

Basic Ingredients (a flavored cappuccino without coffee beans is creative, but not a cappuccino),

Main Frame (even the most innovative pizza would have the hierarchy of bread, cheese and topping)

Cooking Methodologies (no matter what your cookie’s batter is made off, it still has to take its sun bath in the oven.)

Similarly, whilst writing creatively, you do not have to let go in all directions. It’s best to let go, but only if you know where your feet are. Balancing on a solid ground and then experimenting with ideas and thoughts from a concrete base would fetch results, fast and furious.

Tying up the chef’s apron again, imagine if you are to invent a recipe from scratch. Where would you be? Of course, in the mid of nowhere! Grabbing at straws out of thin air might give some initial sparks to start on a new project, but unfortunately it would never lead anyplace further. So that is how you start on with a writing project. You hunt down and pick a few basic rules to stick to. Upon these, you slowly build a pyramid of ideas. Borrowing from spatial creativity and innovative spurs you edit and re edit your work. At the same time the better you know what you are cooking, the better results you ought to achieve.

So, the next time you commence a writing project, do think and prepare, by donning a chef’s hat to get the exacting flavor.
