Spring Into Creativity 2/30
Think about reconciliation. Does it exist in your world? If it doesn’t exist, why is that? What does it look like? Do you have an example of something you need to reconcile or someone you need to reconcile with?
Express it creatively.

Creativity Sundays – Get creative with how you get creative.
So you have fallen behind on those resolutions or plans you had for the new year. Perhaps your creativity challenge is a day late (a little like this post). Or maybe you are a couple days of your “everyday” challenges.
Don’t worry. Today is a new day. Start over.
Don’t be afraid to alter your challenge. Instead of saying you are going to write or draw or compose everyday, try saying that you will simply create everyday. Make a conscious effort to be creative everyday. Or look at why you have fallen off and adjust accordingly.
Don’t be so hard on yourself. It will stifle your creativity.
So today, if you are bogged down by your usual forms of creativity, try something new. Step completely outside of your box. Do things a little differently.
Get creative with how you get creative!

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.
officious
impassive
monstrosity
sanguine
conspicuous
toothsome
fervent
fruition
nuance
segue
treacherous
rampage
sumptuous
seamy
neurosis
leaven

coddle
lacerate
goblet

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.

April Creativity Prompt 30 of 30
Write an acrostic using the name of your favorite fictional character. But the piece should have nothing to do with that character.
If you are a visual artist, place a representation of that character in a place it doesn’t fit.
Have fun with this!

Practice a bit of “black-out” art.
Take a picture and black out all but one or a few objects.
Take a page of writing and black out words until you have a micro story or a poem.
Give it a try. Get creative.
