Hi Mary,

Great post as usual. I think your last point on being preoccupied is so right as far as a creativity killer. The pressures of our daily lives at times hinder our creative potential. I think a lot of the meditative and focusing techniques you teach and practice can be invaluable when applied to this topic.

take care.

In many ways, great writing comes from great thinking. Writing can be easy if you don’t “try to write.” I prefer to to think and write down my thoughts. Makes all the difference in the world.

In many ways this blogpost reminds me of impromptu competitions. In these particular competitions you are given a quotation and two minutes to prepare a five minutes speech where you analyze the quotation through three points that align to the rationale of the quotation. You learn with impromptu speaking, as you do with the strategies of this article, that any situation can potentially have more twists that you can actually imagine.

I think this is useful but i think its very important how your way of writing is, like short sentences, easy to understand texts etc.

Great article Mary!

I often get ideas for my best articles when I think “Oh, that reminds me of…” and connect two normally unrelated ideas!

I’ll definitely apply your advice today and see how many blog post ideas I can generate by connecting unrelated things :)

This is some of the best “creativity” advice I’ve ever read, Mary.

I’ve noticed that when I think about thinking, I’m way too linear. (I’m a logical kinda guy.)

But when I let my mind wander, usually while driving, the strange and twisted path my thoughts take leads to ideas I’d never have considered otherwise.

I’m taking note of the techniques you’ve listed here: I need ‘em! Thank you for a very helpful post, Mary!
