Creativity Sundays: Expand your vocabulary!!!
No matter what you method of being creative, it is always very important to expand your vocabulary. You can never know too many words.
Granted, as a writer, it is possible to use too many complicated words when simple ones will do. However, you still should know the complicated ones and what they mean.
Wordplay is fun. Creating art based on a new word is fun.
Here are some words you may or may not know. Attempt to use a few of the ones you aren’t familiar with in your next creative project or add them in to a current project.

Creativity Sundays – Unload Your Brain
This week try to unload the creativity from your brain.
Before you go to bed write for fifteen minutes. Unload all the your thoughts onto the page. Write. Sketch. Plan. Nothing needs to make sense. You could map out ideas for a project or you can write a few pages of a project.
Once you wake up you should do the same thing. Unload the first things on your mind. Throw them on the page. Write about a dream. Sketch an image that came to your mind. Write all of the things that come to your mind. Take fifteen minutes and get it all down.
At the end of the week, go over what you have. Try not to do it until a full week has gone by. Give the thoughts and ideas some space to breathe. There may be some jewels hiding there.

Creativity Sundays – What is Creativity?
What is creativity?
What does it mean to you?
When I think of creativity I think of:
- it is characterized by originality
- innovation
- setting prototypes
- it is primal
- imaginative
- unique
- inventive
- authentic
- revolutionary
- instinctive
I don’t think there is one definition that works for everyone.
Begin your process by exploring your creativity.
What does creativity mean to you? How do you express it?
Highlight all the ways you exercise your creativity.
