Have you heard about the 30 Days of Creativity project? I found it via twitter, like I find most things these days. It is run by @createstuff and the premise, according to their website, is:
30 Days of Creativity is a social initiative encouraging people to create stuff (anything) every day for 30 days in June.
Your brain is like a muscle. When you exercise it, it gets stronger.
This immediately appealed to me and I thought, why not join? It should inspire me to do some of the things I often think of doing.... then never get around to actually trying. As I've been pondering possible projects, I realized that I am fairly creative in my daily life already -- but, I value everyday creativity highly and try not to get locked into a grey routine, by consciously trying new activities especially around writing & books, as is probably the case for most of my readers ;)
(I've even written a journaling workbook about everyday creativity for my business, Four Rooms Creative Self Care).
I'll be sharing a bit about my activities this month so be prepared for some not-strictly-bookish posts to come...although many of my ideas do revolve around bookish themes, naturally.
What about you? Do you have a favourite form of creativity? What is it? (photography, painting, dollmaking, sewing, cooking, music, writing??) Are you thinking about joining in on the 30 Days of Creativity Project?
This is intriguing. I may have to join you ...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting about this. I'll have to see but I probably don't have time to join now. I do find it really intriguing, though, and will keep it in mind for later.
ReplyDeleteBridget - you'd be a shoo-in for it with all your projects! :)
ReplyDeleteMarie - The time thing is certainly an issue, so I am not pushing myself to do crazy huge projects. Just wee little things to cheer up my day :)
What a great idea! It's a good way to get people inspired to do something creative and different. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
