The Creator's Mindset: Cards

The Creator's Mindset: Mini

"A collection without order, drawn from many papers, which I have copied here, hoping to arrange them later each in its place, according to the subjects of which they treat.” - Leonardo Da Vinci

The same challenge to your imagination, but in card format. Print each "page" onto 5x7 index cards to carry around and use whenever you need a spark of inspiration. For those who want to save space or scrapbook rather than use an e-notebook or full booklet.

Embark on a 30-day journey from the abyss of your mind onto the expanse of the page with “The Creator’s Mindset” - a carefully curated toolkit to draw you out of writer's block.

Everyone knows that the only cure for writer's block is to keep writing -- but how do you keep writing if you have writer's block? These thirty open-ended prompts will help you transcend the mundane and spark that flow once again.

The Creator's Mindset draws from the ideas of creative guides like The Artist's Way to get you out of your head and start writing again. It is divided into three sections, each dedicated to a difference facet of your skill set as a writer: observation, reflection, and creation. Immerse yourself in these prompts and soon you'll forget you ever had writer's block.

You can progress through the booklet in two ways: as a challenge or as a prompt book.

The Challenge:

Each day for thirty days, you'll respond to one prompt. Fill the page, and stop (no matter what) when you get to the bottom of the page. Do not edit, do not reflect, and do not re-read until you are completely finished.

The Prompt Book:

As a writing exercise, try to respond to each prompt or use it as the inspiration for a fictional piece. Can be used as a teaching guide, for writing groups, or for individual practice.
