Everyone–no matter how creative–needs a little stimulation sometimes. A little inspiration. Thankfully, a little inspiration goes a long way. Take 5 minutes to check out one of these uber spark-inducing blogs compiled for you by us here at Libre Retreats, and dive into your creative self. She (or he) is waiting. 1. Idea Sandbox The basically brilliant blog from the company who “hand-crafts and facilitates Brainstorm and Strategy sessions that allow you to solve problems, grow your business, think-up ideas, and create new, innovative ideas.” 2. Broadcasting Brain The tagline here is: Different thoughts about thinking differently. Love that! Creator Mark Dykeman has some good thoughts on writing–among other things. 3. Creativity Portal Don’t let the somewhat messy site design put you off. The content here is stellar, as in Eric Maisel, PhD’s post: Why Does Creating Create so Much Anxiety? 4. I Heart Picture Books Writer + illustrator Lisa Cinar’s blog about the creative process when it comes to children’s picture books. Not interested in creating kids’ books? We recommend reading it anyway. A lot of her creative processes, or assignments, are plain ol’ brilliant creativity-boosters. 5. Chloe Lan’s blog Designer and creativity queen Chloe Lan muses about her latest inspirations and work–they’ll inspire you, too, we promise. Don’t believe us? Just click on the home page. If you’re not smiling at the design there–well, maybe you need a nap. p.s. Don’t miss Chloe’s workshop, Artful Expression, during Libre Retreat’s next retreat. Spark: Re-Ignite Your Creative Self is an intensive weekend dedicated to re-igniting your creative self. You’ll escape from self-created limitations, embrace your essential creativity, learn new tools, gain powerful insghts, and create works that are a reflection of your unique creative self.
