As I’ve mentioned before I myself struggle a lot with the heaps of ideas [...]
reading journal [Creativityist]
I’m an avid reader. I set a goal each year to read an average of a book a week. I enjoy reading, but it is also a discipline of creative work. Ideas rarely initiate out of nowhere. Some of my most creative thoughts cascade out of other ideas, and reading provides me with a torrent [...]
