.: expand your creativity :.

these are a few tips that i read in communication arts magazine recently that i thought apply to my blog, since it centers around art and creativity.

these are things you can do to "wake yourself up", meaning spark your creative juices...

1. take a class in something new

2. crack jokes, especially wordplay

3. keep a notebook

4. visit museums regularly

5. give yourself empty time, nothing to do

6. allow boredom

7. go to a bar you have never been to, in a part of town you never visit, order something you never drink, pull out a piece of paper, look around and write for 45 minutes. (this was the author's favorite tip. it is mine as well.)
