Storytelling- I know some people might think sitting around listening to someone tell stories might be a time-waster but it actually can be quite helpful, not matter what your medium. If you don't have access to public storytelling or a friend or family member , or even the old guy who hangs out on the corner telling “stories” , you could always rent a documentary video or check one out from library. I love documentaries about old blues musicians because there are always good stories that go along with their music. Heck you could even catch some good story telling on cooking shows sometimes. Whatever stories you find will hopefully inspire your mind. While they may not directly inspire some specific creation, they do quite often stimulate that part of your brain and can get your imagination going. remember some of these tips and exercises are just to help stimulate the creative portion of the brain and to entice it to want more.
