The Creative Snug Newsletter
Creativity. A characteristic that should be cherished, nurtured and gently serenaded on long Winter nights, perhaps on a velour rug surrounded by scented candles. Jeez, we’re only one paragraph in and I’m already off on some mad inappropriate tangent.
That’s the blessing (and slight curse) of having a brain that will never shut the hell up. It’s the mild affliction that affects all of us terminally bonkers-types who dare to call ourselves “creatives”. We can’t quite sit still unless we’re making something, or thinking about making something, or writing out a list of plans allowing us to clear time in the not-so-distant future where we can write another list about things we’d like to make. You get the idea.
The trouble is, we let life get on top of us. The news makes us sad, social media makes us angry, our jobs drown us in red tape and any hobbies we once enjoyed get pushed further and further down the priority list until they’re nothing but a barely perceptible dot in the middle distance.
I want to change this. I want you to fall in love with creativity again. If you use it in your job, I want you to start a hot and steamy love affair with it. If you keep it reserved for a hobby, then I want you to tear its clothes off when you next pass it in the corridor. That’s right you’re about to make creativity your filthy little bit on the side, and you’re gonna feckin’ love it.
Let’s reignite the spark that attracted you to it in the first place. Let’s learn how to use it more. And above all else, let’s learn to have a bloody good time while we’re doing it.
The Creative Snug is a place where I share things like:
Creative thinking techniques
Ideas you can use
Advice on marketing yourself
Inspirational people, tools and stories
Tips on running your own business
Ways you can keep yourself relevant even though the machines are coming
Loads of useful audio chatterings where I answer your questions
I want to make this the BEST resource on the internet for creatives. If you adore your creativity more than a fluffy little (insert your favourite animal in here please) then you will be more than welcome inside the Snug.
This is a place to learn new creative tricks, work your idea generating muscles and have a ruddy good laugh while doing it.
Right, enough blabbering from me, why not have a look for yourself.
One of the most effective ways to give yourself an instant spark of creativity, is to reframe the questions you’re asking yourself about the idea you’re trying to conjure up. This little device is a question reframing behemoth and it’s my gift to you when you subscribe to my email newsletter - The Creative Snug.
