There's a blog I read on a daily basis by author Deanna Raybourn. I got hooked on her books last year and then found the blog. It's just so cool. Her style is warm and personal, lyrical even, peppered with erudite words but never stuffy. And gosh, it appears that she writes effortlessly. (Hmm. Maybe that's why she's paid to write. Do ya' think?) But the coolest part is that she posts nearly every day. Yeppers, 6 days a week! A blog entry every so often is hard enough, daily is a miracle. I'm officially in awe.
Some months ago, DR posted a simple link to another blog that caught my eye. That link was downloaded and has since found a nice home on my desktop. I visit every so often along with a bottle of wine. (OK. Maybe not wine during the day. More like a mango melon Lifewater. Yum.) This particular link-turned-downloaded-pdf is a creative manifesto, a check list of how to infuse one's life/business/activities with creativity. Check it out here.
Now, I consider myself a fairly creative person but sometimes one just needs a boost. Right? Like yesterday when I found myself staring at this blog in a quandary on what to post next. Nothing seemed relevant; nothing seemed to resonate. Until ... cue the William Tell Overture ... creative manifesto to the rescue! Much more than a simple booster seat for creativity, this is a handbook for desk jockeys and computer geeks alike, a guidebook for recent graduates trying to find their way in the work place, a compass for entrepreneurs, and a reminder that coloring with crayons is sometimes the best medicine. For me, it reinforced the path to #36.
Oh, and it will be available in bookstores everywhere this summer. Read on, turkeys!
