Creativity or imagination is within us all. But we learn to build mental walls around these skills a we grow up, and gradually they can become atrophied. Therefore practice helps here as well. The act of drawing will gradually fuel your own unique associations with the things around you, and thus lead to imaginative ways of interpreting them. In art the magic is usually right in front of us, the common and overlooked, the every day, the supposedly ordinary is extra ordinary when we learn to look at it with an artists eye.
Whether your business involves boats or bytes, wellness or words, coming up with a fresh angle can mean the difference between a humdrum income and a spectacular one. Creativity isn't an exact science, but it involves far more factors within your control than most people realize.
These are 6 simple steps, on how to become more creative with idea's:
- Don't compare yourself with others. Writing isn't easy. Most people think that their writing is not very sophisticated enough to another writer. Writing is a thought process. Every writer is different. The use different words and different vocab. Every writer has a different style. You shouldn't feel scared by that. All of you have to remember is that no-one is perfect in writing. You don't have to be amazing. If you are not confident in your writing skills, then try to write something simpler first. You can always change it later. Such as you might decide to write something that 6th grader can understand, which is fine.
- Don't listen to feedback. Keep following your own path. The problem with asking for feed back is invariably the feedback will be given infused with that person's preconceived notions of what the outcome should be. Others will unconsciously push you in a direction that they see as best. This is done with good intentions; however, it actually hurts your creativity. Now this is different from sharing your work ' by all means share, but listening to feedback is not a good decision if you want to truly find your own path of creative self-expression. Once you're finished with your creative work, whatever it may be, then you can listen to feedback. Just don't let criticism stifle your creativity during the creative process.
- Routines. Routines are positive if they reinforce a healthy, creative mindset; they're negative if they destroy that. While breaking your routine once in a while to force new ways of thinking is good. Many writers not only have a minimum number of words they must write each day. You do not have to have follow such a strict regime. You can be even more relaxed than that. Your time frame, could a week. However, sometimes breaking these routines is also important as you wouldn't want your life to very monotonous. As they say, change is good.
- Let go of Perfectionism. Our natural output, drained of concern for creating something that's exactly right, will always produce creative results. There are limitless paths to achieve creative success; there are so many shades of gray. Imperfection is human, and sometimes the most creative artists leave mistakes unfixed on purpose. Nature itself is beautifully imperfect. Many try to be so perfect that they scrub away what made their work special in the first place. In a world saturated by overproduced, unnaturally perfect, and clean, the unpolished is the most creative and in many cases most inspirational.
- Ignore trends. If you want to be truly creative, you absolutely must ignore trends. Block them out ' pay zero attention to them. Trends are the polar opposite of creativity. Stop thinking about how many likes or comments the other writer has got, because that is not your story. Everyone is different. Don't try to be like them because everyone is unique. By trying to copy their concepts or ideas, you are following a crowd. It might get you lots of likes and comments, but it wouldn't necessarily make you happy, because it was not your idea. Try to be innovative. Inspiration is only good to a certain extent.
- You. Best way to bring creativity out is from within you. Most people forget their own life experiences and straight for fiction. However sometimes turning your own life experiences into fictions is easier than going straight in for the kill. It doesn't have to be your whole life-story but just a few parts here and there, because trying to be realistic normally gets you somewhere. It is personal to you. So it is your work.
I hope these 6 steps have helped you to become more creative with your writing.
Here are some more tips on how to become more Original with Your work:
- Be yourself! Creative is not copying someone else.
- Go out there and actually do something creative! You're not going to become magically creative overnight! It takes time.
- If you have problems being creative, look inside yourself. Everyone is creative, but if you don't think you're 'good' enough to be creative, then chances are you won't be able to be as creative. Raise your self esteem and you'll find that it's a lot easier to be yourself.
- Spend time around creative people. The most reliably creative people are children. Their imaginations aren't boxed in, and "mind merging" with them can remind you of what it's like to think outside the box.
- Whenever you're challenged to create something, ask yourself: What's the most outrageous, preposterous, and nonsensical thing I can come up with?
