Prompts for creative people - The Majency Oracle
Posted on August 31, 2007, by dazzer67, under inspiration, links.
Similar to Eno’s Oblique Strategies and other prompt ideas comes The Majency Oracle. A fantastic set of prompts for ‘writers, poets, painters and other creative types’. If you are here then it is probably because you want some creative ideas, as such James Bickers’ downloadable idea deck is fantastic… oh and it is free, although a donation would, I am sure, be highly appreciated.
Kudos to Corrie Haffly for posting about this in her blog, if she hadn’t I could not tell you.

Online music creation tool
Posted on August 28, 2007, by dazzer67, under links.
This could be the musical equivalent of a notepad. If you are online and you feel the need to try out a few chord progressions and you don’t have the trusty Fender with you, then Jam Studio could be the answer. Quick, simple, intuitive and functional, you couldn’t ask for more. Well you could ask for more but you would be acting extremely ungrateful and be the sort of person who expects the moon on a stick.
Have fun, enjoy and be highly creative at Jam Studio.

Found this wonderful link via Lifehacker and so if you are in need of writing Links and links for writers then you’d not go far wrong taking a look at this.

Everyone can be creative
Posted on August 10, 2007, by dazzer67, under quotes.
“The key question isn’t ‘What fosters creativity?’ But it is why in God’s name isn’t everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.”
Abraham Maslow
There’s very little you can add to that except, ‘Go forth and create!’
