Today I wanted to talk a bit about ideas. Where do you find them? What can you do to stimulate them? What do you do when you are out of ideas? Finally how does a creativity coaching contribute to the creative idea process. I’m going to split the article up over three days. Part 1 will be posted today. Part 2 will be posted on Wednesday and part 3 will be posted on Friday. Inbetween I will post reminder questions and the success and gratitude breaks posts. I hope that you will find the new format helpful and practical.

My creative process doesn’t usually go in a straight line. I stop and start and stop again. I’ve told you before that I call myself a seasonal journaler, because I write for a season, short or long, and then I stop. I express myself through several creative disciplines and admire others that I have no skill for. To honor our creative journeys, past, present and future I’m including an article about creating a small collage. I believe that collages are an excellent way to describe a journey of whatever kind. Please read the article and feel free to practice making one or several collages this week.
