GOOD ADVICE

Creativity Coach, Eric Maisel, is one of the speakers at the NINC conference in New Orleans today. He suggests that one way to spark your creativity is to "Ask yourself an interesting question. Now try to answer it. As simple as this is to say, it is anything but easy to arrive at deep questions worth our devotions or to answer them adequately once we get them framed. Do you stick with the first answer or surrender to the need to find the second? Surrendering to a new answer is the better path. This two-step process — asking yourself an interesting question, then trying to answer it — only sounds easy, but for all its hardness it can result in the best work human beings are capable of producing."
