Post 15

Last Friday the class talked about creativity and how it comes to writers. The first step is to "hunt and gather", what we will be gathering will be information. Writers should gather information from as many different groups as possible, and try gathering information from new and different routes. Accord to Maslow’s Hierarchy once we gather one thing we climb up the ladder and gather whats next. What writers gather are ideas. The second step is to play with your ideas, get past that first level of creativity. Have fun with characters maybe living in another universe or timeframe. The third step is to let it stew, which means exactly like what it is. Once your get tired of writing or have writers block put down the pen or step away from your computer and just let your mind be free and create wonderful ideas. After that the forth step when you know what your going to write about is the "Eureka" moment and you have your start to the story. The final step is to "just do it" avoid all negative thoughts and just write the thing out. Thats what we learned last Friday.
