Try Something Different

Creativity can be a dry and dusty mouthful of the crunched up morsels at the bottom of the cereal box no one ever wants to eat. Sometimes you need to pour on something different, like strawberry milk (if it’s not from a teat, it’s not milk. I’m looking at you, soy.)

Writing, like all creative endeavours, benefits from doing things a little differently from time to time. Over on my blog, I’ve experimented with handwriting ideas, scanning them in and uploading them as a post: (re)search and You’re the Voice.

A handwritten post allows you to do things a little differently. You can experiment with layout, colour, font, handwriting, pictures, doodles, illustrations.

Try. Something. Different.

Adam sifts through the ennui, minutiae and detritus of life and catalogues them as potential story ideas. They are pretty much a pad of sticky notes on the fridge door. Occasionally he finds loose change. He is an English teacher and occasional drummer with an interest in literary pursuits, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts. He exists on twitter as @revhappiness and writes flash fiction and blogs at A Fullness in Brevity.
