7 Ways To Unblock Your Creativity

Joann Javons, Copyright, All Rights Reserved

You have all the creativity you need to accomplish what you want! But sometimes it seems difficult to release it. Maybe youve wracked your brain but no new ideas, no new approach is coming. How do you unblock the creativity within you? Here are 7 ideas to get you going:

1. Stop Thinking So Hard

Creativity is not a left-brain analytical process. It defies logic, it defies rationality. It does not respond to pushing yourself. Creativity flows, it cant be called up on a moments notice. You can analyze the project forever but at some point, let go of all that left-brain thinking, even for a brief period of time.

2. Move To A Different Spot

Move away from your desk to a relaxing spot. I like to sit in a comfy chair, with the sunlight streaming in, and just take time to reflect for a bit. When I want to write, these questions always help me:

What is inspiring to me?

What inspiration do I want to write about?

And while youre doing this, deep breathe, gently and easily. For more breathing techniques, see Chapter 11, Breathe 7 in my free ebook 20 Little Ways to Stop and Smell the Roses.

3. Write Stream of Consciousness

Write stream of consciousness without any analysis or judgment. This means writing whatever comes to mind, with no judgment, no editing, no censorship, no analysis. Just let every thought pour out on a piece of paper. For more on this technique, see Chapter 8, Write Stream of Consciousness in my free ebook 20 Little Ways to Stop and Smell the Roses.

4. Do a mind map

This is a fun, creative technique that unleashes new ideas, connections, interrelationships.

Doing a mind map is play and yet, you create a useful visual image that uses both right brain and left brain thinking. For information on mind-mapping, see http://www.mind-mapping.co.uk/.

5. Meditate

Meditate and deep breathe to release tension, let go of the old and let in the new. Deep breathing helps both the mind and body to release and relax.

Take time out to be on another plane, out of your analytical mind. Right-brain processes emerge more easily when youre not analyzing.

6. Jump in and see where it goes

You cant always conceptualize the end of a project. Sometimes you just need to jump in, play with it. Let it evolve, work with it and see where it goes.

When I used to throw pottery on a kick wheel, I loved the experience of seeing where it would go. Yes, I had an idea on whether I was making a pot, a plate, a vase or some other object but I never knew exactly what it would look like until I was finished. The clay forces you to mold it, moment by moment.

7. Disconnect

Remove yourself from the project for a while. Play with your kids toys, take a meditation walk, work in another mode. Do something that will refresh and rejuvenate you. Your mind and spirit are asking for this. For more ways to disconnect see Chapter 1, Take 5 Vacations A Day in 20 Little Ways to Stop and Smell the Roses.

Top Ten Tips For Writing Like A Pro

2002 Cathy Kessler

Many people love to write, but simply dont feel they are as effective as they could be. Others hate to write, but find themselves in a position of having to for business reasons. Regardless of whether you write advertising or website copy, books, manuals, or simple business letters, there are certain aspects that remain the same.

These top ten tips will help you gain direction for your writing, will give you confidence, and will have you writing like a pro in no time!

1. Define your audience. Writing - in any form or fashion - is communication. Before you can communicate with someone effectively, you need to know a good bit about them. Take time to outline who will be reading the written piece. Men or women? Business people or stay-at-home-parents? Do they have special needs? What puts them in a position to want to read what you have to say? The more in tune you can get with the readers, the more effective your writing will be.

2. Brainstorm. Whether mentally or on paper, take time to let your creative juices flow. Think of why you are writing and whom you are writing to. Then jot down some notes about what you want to say. For longer written pieces such as books, create a preliminary outline that you can expand on later.

3. Get inspired! When you find yourself stuck (and I say when because all writers come up dry from time to time), look for inspiration. You might find it in the form of a walk through a nature trail, a magazine article you recently read, an excellent ad flyer that came in the mail, or a letter youve received. Inspiration can come from any number of sources!

4. Create a draft. Now its time to write. To start, simply begin writing. Dont worry about the flow or the grammar. Simply keep your mind focused on the readers and why they would be interested in what you have to say.

5. Do the research. If youre lacking information, or need to gather some facts in order to make a point, do a little research. This can be just the perfect element to get your writing to the point it needs to be and to help you fill in any missing gaps.

6. Create a revision. Begin to refine your work, making sentences more concise, making points more obvious, etc.

7. Get an outside point-of-view. Once you have a working revision of your piece, show it to a neutral third party. This serves several purposes such as making sure your explanations are clear, defining missing elements, and ensuring your message is being received.

8. Revise, revise, revise. Yes, this is a primary part of writing. Incorporate the changes into your draft and make any needed revisions.

9. Get some help. At the point you feel your piece is complete, send it to a professional proofreader. Why? Primarily because most writers get weary of a work before it is done. This is a dangerous place to be! Errors are overlooked, typos are skipped, and elementary mistakes go uncorrected. The final bit of polish a qualified proofreader can provide is vitally important to the quality and professionalism of your work.

10. Send it on its way! Youre all done. Now send your written piece to the intended reader(s) with full confidence that it will reap your desired results.

Royalty Free Photo and
Clip Art Resources

Need pictures for your ebook artwork? We suggest using Royalty Free photos or Clip Art, which can be instantly purchased and downloaded online from a variety of Stock Photography Web sites.

Royalty Free (RF) does not mean that the photos are free. What it does mean is that you are able to purchase a license to use the photo, and the use is often unlimited (though some restrictions may apply). You dont have to pay royalties to the photographer every time you use the photo.

However, it also means that you do not get exclusive use of the photo. Other people are also allowed to buy it and use it. Be sure to read the licensing agreement before purchasing so that you have a complete understanding of how the photo can be used and keep in mind that license agreements vary from company to company.

When you purchase RF photos for Web use only, be sure purchase the ones that come in 72dpi (dots per inch). 72 dpi is the appropriate resolution for Web use. However, if you are going to purchase photos for print use, you will need to buy the 300dpi photos.

Also, many places will allow you to download comp images so that you can try them out to be sure they will work for your project before you buy. Comp images are often watermarked and usually come in smaller sizes than what you would actually get if you purchase.

Heres a listing of places that we use to buy Royalty Free photos and Clip Art:

Ebook Publishing Tools Top Choices for
Royalty Free Photos and Clip Art.

Excellent Quality and Affordable Prices!

Photos.com.

- A subscription-based Royalty Free photo site, Photos.com allows you to download unlimited photos when you become a member. Affordable 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and annual subscriptions are available.

Review of Photos.com:

Our review is based on four things:

Quality of Photos Variety of Photos Ease of Searching for Photos Cost of Photos

1. Quality of Photos

I am very impressed with the quality of photos available at Photos.com.The pictures of people and computers are all very modern and reflect the latest styles and technology.

Each picture is also available in several different resolutions, so they are suitable for both Web media and print media.

2. Variety of Photos

Photos.comhas over 30,000 royalty-free photos in a wide variety of categories. They even have some sample images available for FREE!

3. Ease of Searching for Photos

Photos.comoffers a search box that allows you to search by typing keywords into their search engine. Typing in a single keyword will often result in hundreds of results, so do try to use two or three keywords when searching.

For example, instead of typing incomputer, tryman and computer orbusiness man and computer

You can also choose to limit your search to color images, black and white images or either vertical (portrait) or horizontal (landscape) orientation, or photo objects or photos.

To get more information on an image or to view a larger size, click on the thumbnail pictures in the search results. This will also allow you to view what keywords are associated with that particular image, and using those keywords to search may help you find similar images.

4. Cost of Photos

One feature I really like about Photos.comis that they offer several types of memberships at prices that are affordable for everyone. The types of memberships currently available are:

1-month subscription $99.95 US 3-months subscription $199.95 US 6-months subscription $299.95 US 1-year subscription $499.95 US

A membership allows you to download an unlimited amount of photos from their Web site. This is really a great deal considering that many royalty-free Web sites charge anywhere from $49 US - $79 US per photo.

I signed up for a monthly membership, and during that time, I downloaded 236 photos from their site.

Summary

Photos.comis an affordable alternative for small businesses and individuals who want to portray a professional image, but dont have a lot of money to spend.
