#GiveATalk | Deny the Creative Rut

article image placeholderUploaded by @r.o
So I'm going to share with you things that I've done and that I do to find inspiration and to get myself out of my one track mind. Here they are. Lose your phone on purpose. Go outside. Call an old friend. Do things in the wrong order. Embody a character and do exactly what they would do. Write the cringiest thing that you can write. Write the sweetest thing you can write. Record everything for one day

For when you grrrrrr can’t seem to break out of the monotony and need inspiration! #GiveATalk

I want to express some emotion or some feeling. So I want to thank you for sharing. I think it's a very good talk, and I appreciate and I'm going to take into consideration and practice what you shared

Hey, Ro, thank you so much for that. That was very inspirational. Creative ruts can be a pain in the b***. They're ryan maybe that'll be a Paul Mile write or something like that. I do write poems as well as do comic work and all of that, but I was very inspirational and that was very soft and really appreciate that. That was awesome

And there's never a time, I think, when I actually made the effort where I thought, wow, I wish I didn't do this because I have a good instinct. I won't go towards crazy ever. But especially when I'm out in the nature and I'm looking at something and there's someone near me and we're talking about the same thing, you find out so many things and you have to be curious to be that kind of person

I just wanted to take a moment to point out that for someone that thought they weren't qualified enough to give a talk, you just gave one of the best ones that I have heard. You are awesome at inspiring people that are creatively blocked, apparently. And you are very qualified to give that talk. And I enjoyed every second of it and appreciate you. Thanks so much again. Bye

And sometimes I'm just making shapes, and when I start making those shapes, they turn in any form, and they turn into people or places or something that I didn't expect. And I'm like, wow, it's really amazing. And sometimes when I'm writing poetry, it's not something I've thought about at all
