Dear fellow creatives...tips and tricks on leading a creative life

[Peppermintbach]

Hi everyone,

As the title suggests, this thread is pretty much exactly as per the thread title. In some ways, I feel as though I'm a bit of a creative rut, which is awful when you're a creative person.

So I thought that I would try to ask for inspiration in terms of ideas and stories from fellow creatives. Hopefully other people also find this thread helpful in terms of reading and sharing.

So whether you're a professional or amateur graphic designer, industrial designer, architect, musician, writer, choreographer, dancer, landscaper, etc, etc...I would LOVE to hear your tips and anecdotes on how you inject creativity in your world and how your keep the creative spark alive.

Thank you!

Pepper

Hi Pepper and everyone,

I was just going through my books and came across

Supplies- A troubleshooting guide for creative difficulties by Julia Cameron.

Julia wrote The artists way.

It has lots of ideas for starting creativity when one is stuck.

Have you read any books by Julia Cameron.

Hi Quirky,

Thank you so much for the suggestions! Heaps appreciated 🙂

Nah, I hadn't heard of Julia Cameron...till now. I'll have to look her up. Thank you so much again!

Love,

Pepper xoxo

My mom used to say I was most creative when I was a kid, particularly whenever I was cooking... as I always created a big mess in the kitchen. My ex wholeheartedly agreed. 🙂

Hi SB,

Your post made me smile. Thank you 🙂

It ain't creative if your work station- be it the kitchen or elsewhere- doesn't look like it was hit by a cyclone. I leave mini "cyclones" wherever I go too.

Mess is good 😉

Kind thoughts,

Pepper xo
