Poet and creative coach Mark McGuinness from the excellent blog Lateral Action is running a series on how to break through your creative blocks. In Mark’s own words:
“. . . one of our goals for this series is to take the lid off the creative process, examine the challenges together, and for everyone involved to realise that being blocked or stuck doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you personally – this kind of thing is just an occupational hazard for those of us who live to create remarkable things.”
So far Mark has published six posts for this series, each addressing a particular problem that people face when they set out to create. Oh, look, I just happen to have written the sixth post in the series – The Inner Critic.
Head on over to Mark’s blog and start removing every obstacle that stands in the way of your creativity, one at a time:
- Creative Block #1 – “I’m Not Creative”
- Creative Block #2 – Fear of Getting It Wrong
- Creative Block #3 – Lack of Time
- Creative Block #4 – Creativity v Cash
- Creative Block #5 – Being Disorganised
- Creative Block #6 – The Inner Critic
