Cartoons, Creativity and Some Great Conversation

by Joanna on October 14, 2008

Just wanted to point you to a couple of things I’ve been writing elsewhere.

The first is a guest post at Jason Slater’s Technology Blog.  It’s on Writing with Confidence: 6 Ways To Keep Your Readers Happy

When preparing this article I discovered that Jason also runs a cartoon blog, Monk and his IT Junk.  If the latest cartoon is anything to go by you’ll find some gems in there.

The other is a piece I wrote at Joyful Jubilant Learning.  It’s definitely struck a chord with readers there and maybe you too, as I explore what happened when I said:

But I’m Not Creative!

There’s a great follow on conversation in the comment box there if you’ve time, are interested in creativity or have ever found yourself saying “I’m not creative” “But I can’t write!” or “But I’m not a writer!”

I think EVERYONE, at some point or other (whether in their blogging career, at work, or in school) has had a “But I’m Not Creative!” moment!

We all have a little bit of creativity yearning to come out. We all tap into that creativity in different ways and some are quick to let it out. It doesn’t mean that you’re not creative. It just means you have to find that thing, that exercise or activity that allows you to tap into your creativity and express it. :-)

Ricardo, I agree, absolutely. We’re all creative, and the trick is to find the ways to let it out. Once you do – it’ll keep on replenishing itself for ever.

Hahaha, nice one, Joanna. I liked cartoons very much and I think it doesn’t seem to harm anyone on purpose but still can bring out the message to readers :)

Wilson, I enjoy cartoons too and ver much admire the cartoonists’ ability to get to to the heart of the matter with a few pencil strokes and a few words. Something to aspire to!
