As I was preparing for this chapter, I thought of some books and other things that I have found to be creative, so I thought that I would share just a few of them with you.
Here are some books:
Roger von Oech: A Whack on the Side of the Head/ A Kick in the Seat of the Pants
Julia Cameron: The Artist's Way
Ian Falconer: Olivia/ Olivia Saves the Circus/ Olivia Forms a Band (These are children's books, but you shouldn't dismiss them because of that. They are beautifully illustrated, and show a really creative way to write a whole book using just one colour. The heroine, Olivia, is a determined, imaginative and independent little pig who lives with her family in New York. Aren't you intrigued?)
Nick Bantock: The Griffin and Sabine series (These are just gorgeous books written by a local writer/artist utilising collage while telling a story. You can check out Nick Bantock's website here: http://www.nickbantock.com/)
Art Linkletter & Charles M. Schulz: Kids Say the Darndest Things (A really cute book full of the unintentionally funny things that kids say!)
Edward de Bono: How to be More Interesting (We can all learn something from this practical book of exercises to help you learn how to think!)
Finally, here is a video clip of a famous lecture given by a professor at Carnegie-Mellon university named Randy Pausch. It is 76 minutes long, but it is worth viewing as it contains some great ideas on how to attain your childhood dreams.
