The creative prompt I‘ve been looking for, from Greg Wheeler.
Just Write
I push myself to stop waiting for perfect meaning, return to regular writing, and just write again.
Late night thoughts
I let late-night whisky loosen thoughts about parenting, baseball, creativity, theatre admin, work, and getting through hard days.
(no title)
I recommend Ryan Holiday's Perennial Seller after reading it quickly and thinking creatives should read it.
(no title)
I notice that feeling weak and vulnerable can also make me feel more creative.
Doing the Work
I write through my creative stuckness, the ideas piling up in my head, and the need to make space by doing the work.
Asimov on Creativity
I share Isaac Asimov's thoughts on creativity, isolation, group idea-making, and why saying no can matter as much as ideas.
A Case of Mistaken Identity
I connect Samsung, the iPhone, a ruined fresco, originality, plagiarism, and why transformative art depends on old material.
Mind Bombs- The Need For Self-Renewal
I explore self-renewal through new books, places, and experiences, using small mind bombs to remix who I am becoming.
Experimentation
I call for a burst of creative energy, urging poets, writers, musicians, and artists to share ideas and make something new together.
