- Write a word. Any word will do. Is there a synonym that is more in line with what you’re (supposed to be) writing? If so I replace it. If not, that’s fine.
- Expand it into a sentence. Again, anything will do.
- Does this connect to what you’re (supposed to be) writing? If so, perfect. If not, that’s fine.
- Expand into a paragraph.
- Proofread, refine, and focus in it being a quality paragraph.
- Can it be rewritten to fit into what you’re (supposed to be) writing?
- If yes, add it to your writing. If not, you are at least warmed up now. File it in case you’re later writing something else where it fits.
Repeat if necessary
…that’s usually how I get my creativity going, even if I do not feel inspired. I’ve found that motivation and inspiration out of nothing is rare. But once you’re writing something, anything, you’re at least getting into the right headspace.























I love that episode where the Fraggles decide not to eat the structures anymore. The result is that Doozers somehow succumb to poverty as they can’t work anymore. So instead they turn to knitting.
Later their usual song of how building and construction is the best thing in the world has been replaced by different lyrics about how knitting is the best thing in the world.
At the end when the Fraggles eat the structures again, the Doozers of course go back to building. Things go back to normal pretty quickly, and their usual building-song is back to how construction is the best thing in the world. But they’re all wearing knitted scarves.
Fraggle Rock taught me the concept of ecosystems better than any science teacher ever could
