I’ve been trying for so long to get the ball rolling, trying to get some productivity happening at Chopper606, I really love being creative and having a blog. I get a lot of inspiration from reading other blogs online, but just never found that topic to start with. Some of my favourites are in the links on the side. I really like working on my blog at any moment I can get a chance, as probably noticed a lot of it is just pretty generic posts to keep it alive.
When I am working, for most of the day my brain is in overdrive and a lot is happening, inspiration can be drawn from that, that is a valued tip I learnt from reading other blogs.
I think its really good to have a creative side, creativity is something that makes life colourful. Here is a quick list of short tips that I found usefull and helped me:
1. Use a pen and paper for ideas. Its so hard to think and type at the same time, with a pen and paper ideas just flow and you can get them out quicker.
2. Relaxing eases the mind, listening to a few songs on my ipod, works for me, but that can’t really work for everyone, so whatever relaxes you. If you get writers block, and i do, the harder i try to rid that from my mind the worse it gets then writing becomes impossible, relaxing helps.
3. Finding the inspiration, this should come naturally, I believe the harder one trys to be creative, imagination goes out the window then it becomes work that is being rushed and forced out, it becomes a “because i have to, not becuse i want to” situation
4. For me reading other blogs like iJustine’s and just thinking how much fun she must be having is good inspiration.
5. Probably the smallest tip but also in turn the biggest, if your going to write, you should call yourself a writer, be in the right mind frame, this is a confidence booster and makes writing fun.
