Authentic creativity has the power to be reinterpreted and reinvented by the reader. They offer an enticing ambiguity, a place where the reader can be friends with the characters and feel like spending more time inside.
A good creative work is like a mirror, reflecting the reader's imagination in a kaleidoscopic way.

One has to first create a seminal image and use it as the main pillar to build an entire world around it. This is a tricky part as there can be several such images (or imagination keystones) that become the centre of the entire narrative.
Once we figure out a seminal image to anchor on, we can then construct a story narrative and begin to build our world.

Sometimes flashes of ideas can come out of nowhere, but normally, creating a whole world requires a long and slow intake of relevant material.
A lot of contextual information is required for creative writing, which only comes from reading and observing the world.
Instead of sitting and brainstorming, fishing for inspiration, a better way is to just be curious about what we would love to know.

While it may look paradoxical, constraints lead to a better, faster and more creative output, making it easier to sprout new ideas.
Certain plot points, like the lead character having to reach somewhere at a particular time, or a character getting eliminated, can lead to movement in your story. Adding more constraints can clear writer's block, contrary to the popular notion of removing them.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
