I don’t know about you but sometimes I feel like I just have nothing creative left to give. I am not talking forever but sometimes the creative well just feels like it is running low and in need of a little rejuvenation. When that happens there are a few things I like to do to give my creativity a boost. For example, if I am writing and I feel stuck I like to close the computer and get out a notebook and a pen and kick it old school. I find writing by hand just sparks creativity and feels less like work to me. I also like to step away from the work all together for a bit. Disconnecting from my writing and watching a movie or better yet cracking open a book really helps me get some distance from my own work but gets my mind working.
In an effort to help all of us boost our creativity I put together a short round up of articles offering tips, techniques, and advice to get those creative juices flowing
