When I was working on The Creativity Choice, I got stuck while writing a chapter on… the creative block. The pieces were there, but it was not coming together. I wrote about how to get out of the creative impasse in my latest for @thriveglobal.bsky.social community.thriveglobal.com/overcoming-c...

The concept of flow has captured our imagination so fully that it is often assumed that flow is required for #creativity. It isn’t. In my latest newsletter, I explore what flow really is, what it's not, and how to increase the chances of entering it.

We use technology on auto-pilot. But it doesn't have to be like that. What if we were purposeful? What if we learned the lessons of what happened with social media to inform how we use #AI for #creativity? My latest newsletter: open.substack.com/pub/creativi...

Diving more into the writing process. Which is a great example of The Creativity Choice process, from decisions to get started to doing to redoing (part 2) #creativity #writing #writingcommunity #booksky

When I started writing The Creativity Choice, I couldn't resist checking advice to writers. But none of the top tips were helpful for me. The truth is that there is no right way to write. Just. Write. Edit. Write. And write. #WritingCommunity #BookSky #creativity

As #AI takes over many generative tasks, what is left is complex #creativity of finding problems, drawing on expertise that builds capacity for effective judgment + decision making, and building by incorporating signals from emotions and thinking alike (what matters? what is important?)

Despite all the talk about #AI and #creativity, I think that all the evidence points to human creativity continuing to be a way of future proofing ourselves.

Learning & the Brain review of The Creativity Choice: "Her core argument is simple yet liberating: Creativity isn’t exclusive to artistic geniuses; it’s a series of deliberate choices available to everyone." www.learningandthebrain.com/blog/the-cre... #creativity #confidence #booksky
