It’s full-fledged summer where I live. That means sweltering weather, all the sunlight, and fireflies at dusk. Fireflies! It’s also a time of year where I can let my body and mind discover and explore new patterns. This week, I invite you to do the same.
Earlier this summer, Stacey Shubitz shared an article with me from The New York Times called “The Creativity Challenge.” It’s about using the power of divergent thinking to jump-start the creative process. When you follow this link to the article, it takes you to a series of activities you can try. I liked it because I could complete the activities quickly and easily on paper or online. I had fun with them, and I may even use this resource as a warm-up for my student summer writing group.
Give it a go, and see what happens!
