I posted a new article this week about creative thinking. How to Think Creatively
Note: The original post has been taken down. If you are interested in reading the article, let me know and I can post it on this website.
The idea came to me because I was frustrated with the difficulty I had with a couple of my stories. I know I can be creative, but there are times when I can’t come up with anything if my life depended on it.
I thought about the times when I was successful and looked for patterns. I identified several techniques that I can use. The most important is to make the effort. The idea may come to you in a flash, but if you haven’t prepared yourself it never will.
