I’ve been blogging about Oshun, the AfroCaribbean Goddess of Fertility and Abundance, an archetype writers can use to boost energy, productivity, enthusiasm, and the sheer pleasure of the writing process. This week has been all about creativity and joy, so I thought the perfect Tips for Writers Thursday post would be a great exercise for stimulating creativity. The problem: There are already dozens upon dozens of terrific creativity exercises on the web. So, rather than add more to the already-stuffed cornucopoeia, I’ve decided to share what’s already there.
Here are some of the best creativity exercises I found out there. Enjoy!
