Creative Complex: Doodle

Hello, Friends!

Today, pick a doodle or a simple drawing, then see how many ways you can change it but still keep it the same in essence. Or, I suppose, since this is supposed to be about writing, you could do a simple story and then change it in as many ways as possible but still keep the essential story.

For example: (Drawing-wise):
  • Pirate ship
  • Fairy
  • Crown
  • Dragon
  • Tree
  • Etc.
Think of questions like:
  • Are there different textures I could use to make my picture different?
  • Are there different details I can add?
  • What are distinguishing characteristics of types of my picture (species of tree, color, etc.)?
  • How can I be more creative?
For example: (Writing-wise):
  •  A princess story
    • Many different types of princess stories; pick one
  • A fable
  • A description
  • Etc.
Think of questions like:
  • How can I change the story?
  • Point of view?
  • Are there different details I can add?
  • What are distinguishing characteristics of types of my story?
  • How can I be more creative? 


This is a good mind exercise. It'll help you think more creatively. :)
