Stir up your creativity

I was listening to Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones today. Most creative writers have probable read her book. I enjoy it, but in small doses — she is rather overwhelming, isn’t she?

Now, I’ve been thinking of things to do to spark a little creativity. I’ve been doing a lot of nonfiction lately, so I’ve been feeling a little less creative than usual.

Here’s a few to try…

• Draw something that represents your creative style. If you’re so inclined, design a web page background (maybe for your own page?)
• Write a children’s story with your first pet as the main character
• Write a letter to someone you haven’t talked to in years.
• You can return to any place you’ve ever been. Where is it?
• Design an alien that lives on a very different type of planet. How would they manage an invasion of Earth?
• If you could be transplanted to any time, when would it be?

So… maybe we should all get writing.
