A local retired professor, news journalist and writing group friend
recently asked me to look at the recent issue of the WRITERS DIGEST
where there are a mix of articles focused on CREATIVE THINKING for writers.
The first piece I read this morning is under a regular column titled:
"POETIC ASIDES" by Robert Lee Brewer
His title:
CREATIVE CHALLENGE: 7 CREATIVE POEM STARTERS
Here are the key suggestive words. I encourage you to find the July/August Issue and read the more detailed description of how to use these 7
1. DILIGENCE - read, read, read, write, write write and the Inspiration will return
2. MEMORY: dive into your memory for ideas
3. RESPONSE: respond to things around you
4. SOUNDS: let the words you are writing spark your creativity
5. FORMS: let various poetic forms help spark your creativity
6. PROSE: switch back and forth between writing forms
7. BORROW: borrow from rather than plagiarize or copy.
I hope I have done justice to Robert Lee Brewer's ideas.
