30 Creative Prompts
Prompts to get you to look at things differently and create something
It's not easy being creative. Having an original idea doesn't JUST happen but being creative can be a real superpower. Seeing a unique opportunity that others don't can bring incredible rewards and is deeply satisfying.
The trouble is, even if you WANT to be creative, actually BEING creative isn't so easy.
You might do something and be unsatisfied with the result or realise that it isn't that creative after all. Even when you find inspiration and create something original, the inspiration may dry after time and you realise that your making pretty much the same thing again, and again, and again.
Creativity is a Muscle
Creativity is like a muscle, the more you exercise it, the easier it is to be creative. But there's part of the problem, how do you start being creative when you haven't been working your creative muscle. You need to have a creative jump start to get you moving so the creative snowball can build.
And that's where this course comes in.
Introducing 30 Creative Prompts
30 creative prompts is an ebook and course with 30 different creative prompts to get you to look at the world different and experiment with different approaches. Some of these prompts involve a specific type of creation like writing, others are more flexible and can be applied across disciplines.
The Story Behind 30 Creative Prompts
I create 30 creative prompts for myself. I was trying to come up with some creative challenges and decided to make a challenge of making challenges... meta, I know. As I started to create these prompts I thought that I could share them with other people and inspire further creativity.
Originally I was going to make an ebook, but then I realised I could create a course and offer some additional features as well.
