How to be Creative (Coming Soon...)

"How To Be Creative:"
gapingvoid.com (August 22, 2004)

"...So you want to be more creative, in art, in business, whatever. Here are some tips that have worked for me over the years...."

Oh, yes - and "BIG NEWS: "How To Be Creative" will be coming out as a hardcover book in June, 2009. Titled "Ignore Everybody"...."

Quite a few of the points are common sense (I think):

"4. If your biz plan depends on you suddenly being 'discovered' by some big shot, your plan will probably fail."

"14. Dying young is overrated."

"16. The world is changing."

Some are, I think, debatable:

"20. The choice of media is irrelevant."

(Think of "The Matrix" as a flip book.)

"26. Write from the heart."

(Good advice, as far as it goes. But if you do, I'd advise having a good editor go over your work.)

Still, it's a rather humorous look at being creative: with some valuable nuggets.

There's a PDF version, too.
