Kicking Off a Creative New Year

Project Creativity

Would it be terribly punny of me to say that creatives are creative with their New Year’s resolutions? Check out this calligrapher who in 2015 hand-lettered the entire Book of Proverbs. Absolutely stunning, not to mention a work of perseverance and inspiration.

Creative resolutions are wonderful exercises for those of us who make a living on our ideas. They challenge us to try new things. They broaden our thinking. They combat the dreaded creative block. How do I know this? Easy. Over the years I’ve made a gazillion resolutions, from photo-a-days to sketch-a-days, from gratitude journals to blogging. Some resolutions I kept faithfully, others I lost interest by week two. And through them all, I’ve come away a more creative and focused professional.

Because I have a short attention span (multipotentialism—how exciting there’s now a label for us :-), I’ve learned my most successful creative resolutions are year-long blogs. Twelve months is ample time for me to master a topic and ramp my writing skills. Posting once a week, give or take, doesn’t overwhelm my schedule, yet it requires some major self-discipline. By the end of twelve months I’ll be completely bored of the blog, but I know if I stick it through I’ll feel highly accomplished.

So that’s what I’m doing.

My creative resolution for 2017 is a year-long blog called Project Creativity. What is creativity? Why is creativity important? How we can further our creativity? These are some of the discussions I hope to cover. I’ve done a lot of research on the subject, but all the books and studies have nothing on a broad scope of personal experiences. That’s why I’m hoping you’ll participate in this exciting project.

That means you! Whether you’re a creative professional or creative as a door knob, please participate. Please peruse regularly and offer lots of comments—you know what they say, it’s the comments that make a blog.

And, hey, have an awesome 2017!
