I have lately taken to writing lists of absurd things. They are intentionally bad, intentionally silly, nothing more than a bit of clowning around before I 'get down to work'. I suppose it's a loosener-up exercise, where you blast out 10 bad ideas, 10 bad drawings, or whatever form you practice.
That said, I set a goal to write 10 yesterday, and now, I have 30 on two pages.
this was exactly what i needed, such a fun piece. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about how to re-ignite my passion and creativity and about what could possibly be holding me back.
Point 5 is so good
thank you!! 💿
I sometimes feel creativity stucked, crave for new idea but nothing comes to mind. You have answered my problem beautifully.
I have written something on creativity, could you like to review my article?

I loved the tips about mediocrity and friction. It really mean something to sit with that type of uncomfortable tension
Thanks for this Substack.

Yes to reading fiction!! I always sense a dip in my creativity when I get lazy about reading novels!
