Best of Week: Getting Back on Track with Creativity

The best idea we learned in
class this week was the
different ways to reconstitute your creative juices, like rewiring
your dim creativity bulb. The
thought that reading, writing,
hearing or seeing something
may help you to get
that creative boost you
need to finish a writing a
story or add the final
touches to a painting.


This reminds me of some days when I have lots of creativity in me and then the next day I cant even finish a project maybe for that day, that week or that month. I need that extra little kick to keep me on track with my creative thoughts and get back into my project. Usually with my work I am very impatient and just want to finish it. Sometimes though I can not think of anything else to add to my work or how to finish it so I stop for a day. I might just put it away for a while and do it some other time when I feel like it. Sometimes i go on Youtube or Google and try to find inspiration and ideas and that helps too. But now that I have the real key to keeping the creativity flowing; reading, writing, seeing and listening. Next time I get stumped or frustrated with my work and feel like I am never going to finish I know to take a break and work on something else in which it will give me ideas and the drive to finish my projects.
