I decided to pick the article “How to Spark Creativity When You’re in a Rut,” by Priscilla Claman (https://hbr.org/2017/04/how-to-spark-creativity-when-youre-in-a-rut). The article discusses how one can find creativity when they don’t have it. When you are having trouble finding creativity, you can observe from someone else according to the article. This is something I already knew, and I have actually tried and it works. I find it is always best to learn from someone or pick off ideas from others when you are in a rut because you are able to pull something from others creativities sometimes. A good tip that the article provides is, “Capitalize on obstacles” This is a great idea because when you have an obstacle, you need to get over it but the only way to get over it is to analyze it and that is what that means. One thing I am curious to explore is the concept behind writers block, and why it happens so often spontaneously.
Fred Moten Born in 1962 and raised in Las Vegas Focuses on black studies, poetry, and critical theory The Salve Trade The poem of Fred Moten is hard to understand, the reader should look at it in a different way. This poem is about the idea of the slave trade and Fred Moten just rearrange the letters and come up with slave trade. The poem also uses the technique it which it jumps from thoughts to thoughts which makes it interesting to read because it does not really show what the real issue it discusses. There are also a lot of things that occur in the poem which makes it really hard to understand the poem. It mostly shows the idea of black people which was not directly quoted but Moten uses the phrase “I started reading my paper and ash flew from their big ol’” which describe the skin color of the black people.
Hello again Samuel, The article you have posted and written about I think is very informative. I think a lot of times personally I will get in creative ruts and looking to others for inspiration and advice I think is a very good idea and something I will try the next time I need some ideas.
