I have an idea drawer where I throw magazine clippings or short ideas that I jotted down on a 3×5 notecard and put in the drawer “for later”. Sometimes I open the drawer and sift through my idea drawer and something usually inspires me. I spend a lot of time composing a post in my head before I actually sit down and write the post.

I keep the juices flowing by trying something new each week. Whether it be a new book, tv program, recipe, etc. I believe trying new things opens you up.

I ask my kids what they want to make- usually it takes some ingenuity to accomplish their lofty goals!
I like to turn on music and relax before I start a major project, so an Apple card would be perfect! Thanks!

Music! Listening to some great music always gives me inspiration.

Oddly enough, I’m most inspired when I’m really busy. If I have a ton of work to do and a lot to get done around the house or with the kids, then all I can think about are 800 potential blog posts! If I need to be inspired in graphic design, I’ll look through other websites & things to get an idea for a color scheme or something. Seeing other people’s work gives me ideas for things that look nothing like theirs somehow.

I write stuff down while I’m out, change my location or even stop trying to write altogether and do something else..usually something will start flowing soon after.
I like to search the internet and look for new and interesting stories. THat always helps me.
