Become Creative Writer

Karen Berns

Writing creatively is an enjoyable and rewarding pursuit that can be a hobby, a field of study, and even a career. So i want to give you some advices. And here are some tricks to be a more creative writer:
Make a list
Sometimes we are overwhelmed thinking that we have hundreds of things to do, but if we write them down in a list (in tasks and microtareas), it turns out that it is not so much. We can solve them one at a time and go through them. In this way, the brain is better organized, calms down and has the clearest path to creativity.
Keep a notebook everywhere
I think I've mentioned it many times, but it's fundamental: do not leave your notebook. You never know where the spark can come from and you'll appreciate taking it with you when it happens.
Try the free writing
Launching to write without thinking, without planning anything, can be a great way to start the inspiration. To start, you can use a phrase or a series of words, then let yourself go.
Stay away from the TV and the computer
If you are trying to activate the part of the brain that is responsible for giving you ideas, turn off the television and computer, disconnect the internet and forget the phone anywhere, far away. They are useful tools for other purposes, but not for stimulate creativity.
Be different, like from another world
Dare to think differently, to be weird, a green dog. Do not want to be like others, forget about that: be original being yourself.
Take breaks
The brain works better when you are resting, did you know? So relax from time to time, throw yourself to the barbola a little bit every day, you will see how later the ideas arrive alone.
Sing in the shower
In the car, at work, on the street. No matter where. Sing and whistle everything you want because it is very healthy for the brain and for the spirit. In addition, a cheerful person is a more creative person. In addition, singing loudly in the shower, without complexes, disinhibits, relaxes and releases stress.
Drink coffee or tea. In moderation, of course. One or two cups a day will stimulate your brain. Also prevents Alzheimer's disease).
Know your roots
I think it is important for a writer to be clear about where he comes from, to know his culture, his roots and his origin. This helps us find our own voice and identify the way we see the world. This does not mean that we have to limit ourselves to our culture, far from it. The wealth is out there! Nevertheless, as a good friend told me some time ago: when you know where you are coming from, you are more prepared to know where you want to go.
Listen to new music
Moreover, read new books, visit new exhibitions, and watch new movies. Always. Culture is something alive and in constant movement. Look at the new things that are being done in all parts because they can provide you with clues, fresh points of view.
Look for other opinions, collaborate and open yourself
If something I have learned thanks to this blog is that, a writer should not be an animal locked in his studio writing for himself. Either virtually, either in person, it is very enriching to share, collaborate in writing groups, become writer at <A HREF="http://quizlets.live/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">essay writing service</A>, comment on texts with other writers. In short, exchange words with others.
Surround yourself with creative people. Whenever you can. Creativity attracts creativity.
Do not give up
Never. Keep trying. Perseverance is essential if you want to be a writer, as much or more than talent.
Practice, practice, practice
Writing is like playing an instrument: you have to dedicate time. The more you practice, the closer you will be to excellence.
Dare to make a mistake
Here is an absolute truth, of the few that I believe exist: you are going to be wrong. That is for sure. Sooner or later we are all wrong. Everyone. The one who never makes a mistake is because he does not even try. You have to make mistakes many times to be able to get one right.
Visit a new site
Try an unknown meal, dare to try new things. That stimulates creativity, of course, and gives you experiences and new material to write on.
Watch old movie and old books. Get closer to the classics. It will be worth it.
List your virtues
The defects usually have them very clear, right? The virtues cost us more. Make a list of all those good things you have. Believe them; enjoy them, regodéate for a while in your qualities. Self-esteem is a good partner for creativity because it removes fears and insecurities that do not allow us to think differently.
Break the rules
You already know what is usually said: the rules must be known in order to break them. But, once you get to know them, dare from time to time to transgress them a bit, to write differently, to try other things. Surely you will be wrong many times, but some will guess right and you will discover something new.
Learn something new every day
I like this advice a lot. It is difficult, but stimulating. It forces you to be alert, alert, looking for information to learn. All those interesting things that we learn are accumulated in the brain and he is responsible for giving them shape to create ideas.
Clean your workspace
In the same way that «mens sana in corpore sano» is said, it should be said that the mind also works better in a comfortable environment. It is not about becoming manic of order, but give a review from time to time so that everything is more clear, help.
Have fun
It is fundamental. Have fun in general and have fun writing. There will be those who believe in the tormented writer, in the bohemian and depressed artist, but I believe that writing, although it can sometimes be harder or more tiring, can be very fun.
Finish something
Or as much as you can. If you finish what you start, if you get used to your brain to do it, you will make it take things more seriously. Surely also the part to generate new ideas that you will later materialize and, like this list of tips, you will finish.
Well, so far the list. What do you think? Are you agree? Any other trick that you use? Need more details? Visit our event and develop yourself.
