Where did it go?
How did my creative spark get lost?I love cats, snails, insects and small creatures, coffee, art, writing, all things sweet, as well as all things Chineasy, and can’t think what we did without the internet.
There are things, books and art/illustrations to create and places to see.
But what happens with my and your motivation if you can’t create or do it or go anywhere?
One of the many things I try, is my Create With Hanna -plan:
There are many different types of creativity exercises. Some are designed to help you generate new ideas, while others are intended to help you develop your creative problem-solving skills. Here are two examples of idea generation exercises:
- Brainstorming: This is a classic method for generating new ideas. Simply sit down with a blank piece of paper and a pen, and start brainstorming whatever comes to mind. Don’t worry about whether or not your ideas are good, just let them flow.
- Word association: Another great way to generate new ideas is to start with a word, and then brainstorm a list of other words that are associated with it. For example, if you start with the word WRITING, you can think of PENCIL, STORY, BOOK, and then you may even have enough words for the first sentence of your story!
What do you do to get your ideas flowing again?
