Make a list

 

Were you creative today? Did you look at a blank canvas or piece of paper? Did you sit down at the piano? Did you hold a camera?

Here is an idea to spur your creativity.

Make a list.

Just write down words (or phrases).

Words that you hear that you connect with. Words that is unfamiliar. Words in a song on a radio or read in a book. Words you have to research. Words that redefine previous thoughts or understanding.

At the end of the day, read all the words.

Does a word or a group of words inspire a thought?

A title for a story or a book? A vision of a painting or idea for a piece of art? Does a tune come to mind or a poem or an idea for a movie? Can you dance to a word that creates a dream in your mind?

Creative inspiration comes from many places.

Give it a try.
