Found this wonderful video by Terry Timely via the equally wonderful SynthGear.

Just the thing to get the creative juices folling on a Monday, or any day in fact.

Well, you’re not the only one. I’m having a creatively barren day so far. I wonder if it is anything to with my imagaintion being slightly limited?

There is a great post over at one of my favourite sites, Smashin Magazine. It is all about using music to inspire your visual creativity, enjoy:

There is a good guest article over at Susan Johnston’s The Urban Muse. The article by Sybil Baker, gives some wonderful tips on how to organise your writing time amongst the hassle and busyness of our daily lives.

There is (yet) another great post, and ongoing conversation, over at Lateral Action. The post by Mark begins with the premise, in the movie world, that the film Watchmen will be a commercial success due to the publicity it has gained through the legal dispute between Warner and Fox. I’m not going to get into the debate on this site, if you want that, then go and join in at Lateral Action.

Mark questions those creatives who complain about not being recognised for their art when they don’t promote it. This is something I totally agree with. I’ve mentioned it before here, if you are doing art for art’s sake, then you’re doing it for yourself. But if you want it to be enjoyed by others, then you need to put promotion into your strategy.

WRITER’S TOOLBOX: 35 Best Tools for Writing Online

There’s one or two additions I’d include to this list.

I’ll be posting my own list of tools pretty soon but the one above should keep you going for a while.
