Tips on Creativity -

Hello friends,

This is a sheet you can use to inspire you when you are feeling low on creativity. What follows is a list of what helps me personally when I'm getting into the creative mindframe. Keep in mind this may not work for you, but it could one day so keep it handy!

1 - Wake up on time and whatever you do, don't drink the milk because it smells sideways to me.

2 - Take a break from writing to practice distance looking, chair cleaning, and judgingly commenting on people walking by your window i.e. - look at that woman! She does not skip meals.

3 - Try to signal for help using the Morse Code on your heating pipes. If you don't live in an apartment or are not trapped in a prison of your own design and you own your house, good for you!

4 - Think about what the ancients used to do when they got low on creativity...they probably murdered mermaids.

5 - Take an online course where you learn the ins and outs of sausage tubing. Vomit.

6 - Change clothes.

7 - Science is hilarious because we invented numbers and words. We invented the tools we use to explain the shit we don't understand. Thank God you're not a scientist.

8 - Translate your deepest saddest memories into a different language and then translate it back to English to see how foreign people hear your sad ass stories.

9 - Explain your way out of a room filled with socialists. Explain your way back in.

10 - Finally, just take it easy and clear out your mind. Breathe deeply and come to an understanding that all things being equal, each moment you engage your mind in the pursuit of creativity is a chance for your to connect with a version of your self that is free of constraint and worry and nothing but pure energy and honesty can come forth.

Thanks everyone!
