Sort of related to what you're talking about...
I went to a Copywriting seminar last week on Thursday and Friday. I'm doing much more writing at work and it's a blast that our company pays for us to do outside training/learning during the year.
I studied Advertising in college and loved writing, always have.
This seminar totally woke me up to what I'm good, made me realize what things I need to concentrate on in my career, and just generally inspiring the living hell out of me.I totally needed it and felt like a new person afterwards. New ideas, new goals, new excitement about creativity and purpose and how I need to put everything I can into what I do work wise and my own artwork, portfolio, etc. to get where I'd like to be.
Anyhow, one think I learned about creativity:
Statistically, it takes 90 minutes to generate an idea well, with brainstorming, writing, sketching, etc. and it usually happens best away from where you typically work.Plannning for 90 minutes of time at a point in the day to dump all your ideas out for project can make a big difference. I did that today and got way more written and planned out than if I were at my desk, and NT. :D
