How to Replenish Your Creativity

You have an outline and start writing but your originality has plummeted. The content is there but it's plain and dry. You need something to help revitalize your confidence and creativity. How can you replenish your innovative energy? How can you generate your imagination tactics? Let's dive in. Beyond utilizing a Thesaurus, consider the following approaches:

  • Recognizing Analogies and Comparisons
  • Reflecting on Journal Prompts Based on Events
  • Referencing Popular Stories and Messages 


Analogies. Produce comparisons and explain how that connection solidifies your main points. Having setbacks such as snacking on sweets despite the commitment to counting calories. Mastering a hurdle such as climbing a mountain. Standing firm like an anchor. Regaining focus to targeting goals like a sharpshooter. Once you've found an analogy paint the picture from start to finish to bring home the message and clarify how it relates to your narrative. 


Journal Prompts. Another way to reset your clock and boost your creative energy is by reflecting on journal prompts based on recent events. For instance, describing the weather. Referencing that delicious meal, you ate at that restaurant the other day, or reminiscing on a conversation you started with a stranger last week. Once you've reflected on ordinary events you might consider using it in your work or approach your craft from another angle and rewrite the script.


Popular Stories. Storytelling holds people's attention well. Recall famous actors and their lines from popular movies that most people watched and tie that into your writing. You might refer back to the Bible in order to drive home a message about a behavior or theme like courage, loyalty and commitment.


Conclusion

Whenever you're in a writer's ditch and lacking creativity, pull from our creative toolbox. Reflecting on the creative writing approaches discussed: analogies, journal prompts and current events and incorporating popular stories. Use these ideas to rekindle your imagination. Adding an appealing flair to your content through these writing reflections.
