Creativity & 33 Ways to Stay Creative

Creativity comes in waves, I think it is safe to say we have all experienced those sporadic sparks of new ideas and then there is a time when there is nothing to make, nothing to alter, or nothing to influence.  For someone who loves being creative when you hit those rough spots, it can be a hard place to sit and wait it out.  I came across this list of 33 Ways to Stay Creative, which I found to be extremely helpful when you feel as though you are lacking that creative spark or just when you don't know what's next. 

Our daily photo challenge has really sparked my creativity and I am challenged everyday to produce pictures and images that represent one single word each day.  I like to call it my creative homework.  Not only does it help to make my photography better but it also motivates me to always be looking for something more in the images that I see around me.

Tomorrow I will share with you the rest of the pictures from this month photography challenge.  I get my new list of challenges for the month of February tonight and I am excited to see what my creative homework will be for the next month.
