It is a little late in the month, but here is Creativity Portal’s inspirational writing prompt for March.
You can manifest your creativity in many prolific, bounteous ways.
Prolific Writer
First, let me provide a Dictionary.com definition of “prolific”: producing in large quantities or with great frequency; highly productive: a prolific writer.
As writers, we are at least a little bit in touch with the right side of our brain. If we did not have a creative spark in us, we would probably not volunteer to write a blog, create a website, and share our thoughts publicly on the World Wide Web. Well, maybe some would. Or maybe some of us think we are more cunning and creative in our words than we actually are.
Creativity can come in great frequency and in large quantities. True. Some of the time. As writers, we know this can be an important part of the writing process. Being productive keeps us on target, keeps the creative juices flowing. Being a prolific writing means not allowing yourself to get stagnant. But, it can happen.
Writer’s block to a writer is akin to a runner getting leg cramps. Or something like that. Think of it as the loss of the ability to produce creative thoughts, being unable to achieve your goals because of an obstacle. But, we can pound through it and manage to push past the obstacle even with these “cramps” holding us back. There are always ways around the obstacle, it just may take some creative thought. Ah, there are many ways to skin a cat.
Giving Thoughts Freely and Generous
Here is one way how Dictionary.com defines “bounteous”: giving or disposed to give freely; generous; liberal.
Get out there and share your ideas. Don’t hold back! Being a writer means bearing your soul sometimes. At least your thoughts. This is more applicable to blog writers or the writing of a memoir. We are talking creativity here. Not much creativity goes into certain writing, like technical writing or a wanted ad. Creative writing should flow and not be blocked. Liberate your creativity!
When we are being creative, we are creating thoughts, images, and ideas. Right? Makes sense. If we hold back, this creativity may not flow so easy. Open up the creative flood gates and share these thoughts freely. Be generous!
Sometimes, creativity needs a swift kick in the behind or a manual jump start. Writing prompts are a great way to manifest writing creativity. Especially if the prompt does not even make sense to you! Get out of your comfort zone and spark that creative side.
One last cliché: Think outside the box.
