I took a class in college called Creativity in Business. We completed weekly exercises in order to explore and expand our creative side.
The creative process isn't only deciding what to make and then making it. The creative process is exploring likes and dislikes; it is combining, replacing, separating, narrowing down, stretching out. It is thinking about old and new - what was, what is, and what is to come.
To help us inspire, expand, and explore our creative side, I would like to present a weekly exercise in creativity. Each Monday I will write about some topic that forces me to combine, separate, narrow, stretch, etc. I will write about it and I will invite you to write about the same topic on your blog and leave your link here. Please link back to the original post here.
Remember when you were a kid and you thought that anything was possible? Go back to that place when you play along. Unless the exercise is limiting in nature, don't hold back.
I'll let you know what the next topic is ahead of time so you can have your post written by Monday (Saipan time, that's GMT+10). Ah Monday, the day most of us dread. Why can't everyday be Sunday?
Next up: Four things I wish I had in my backyard.
Twas the night before christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. The Stockings were hung by the AirCon with care with the hope that St. Nicolas soon would be there.
ReplyDeleteE and I were all snug in our bed with little pumpkin safely in his crib, when out on the roof there came a soft thump. I rose from my bed to see what had dropped. My dear wife said, Get thee out to the yard and gather the mango, before the neighbor does her round. I stole from the deck and what did I see, but three ripe fruits lying there for me. I gathered them up and crept back in, no one wiser, but the rats and me.
Nice one, Mark! Mmmm, mangoes.
