What Inspires Your Creativity?
Everyone is a creator, and we can all find and use inspiration along the way.
What inspires you to create?
It doesn’t matter what it is you are creating — creating anything is empowering. What helps you to be inspired to create?
There can be multiple sources of inspiration. But it’s also important to recognize that, when we get stuck, we still have somewhere we can turn to.
Further, different things will inspire at different times and in certain circumstances.
For inspiration, I turn to the following sources (in no particular order):
· Music. For writing in particular, I love to use movie scores. Nothing like the soaring orchestrations of John Williams and Michael Giacchino and the like to make the blood pump and get the creative juices flowing.
· Pinterest and other photo resources. Looking at inspiring images often evokes stories to go with them, and can help awaken creativity.
· Sunlight. Nothing like the sun to wake me up. I know it’s not for everyone, but I am totally solar powered.
· Rain. A good falling rain can be equally as inspiring as the sun. Something about it evokes creativity.
