What doesn’t happen next?

Think about what won’t happen next and consider how that can add ideas to whatever you’re working on. At the core of creative block is an inability to think outside the box. That box might be the limitations you have on the current project or the box of commonly accepted norms.

Instead of thinking about what happens, think about what doesn’t happen, what isn’t connected, and what isn’t immediately obvious.

What if I change its name, make it bigger, or smaller, or lighter, or heavier? What if I add something, or remove something, make it stronger, weaker, more agile, more immovable, etc…

Keep asking these questions and they’ll start to become second nature in your process of creating art.
