How to stay creative and write unique content?

What are people talking about? What's in the media? What's appearing in your feeds? Capture these themes in a notebook or on your phone's notes.

See #1 above. What can you do with what you're seeing or hearing?

Are you seeing a problem in your world? Solve it. (Come up with 10 ideas a day to do so.)

This is the gift from writer Julia Cameron, author of the book "The Artist's Way." She was on Podcast 484 of The James Altucher Show. Have a listen, get inspired and start writing.

You may be passionate about music. Or films. Or cars and trucks. What are people writing about when it comes to your topic? Find out. Then write the opposite. Or at the least a new angle on it.

The band The Dandy Warhols forced themselves to write a song a week (and shoot a video for it) for a year. The results were quite good. (I wrote about it on my blog: https://rschwartz.substack.com/p/the-case-for-forced-creativity). What can you "force yourself" to write?

Go to a museum and just absorb.

Go to a museum with the express intent that you will write about it. Maybe it will be a blog post. Maybe it's just an email you will write to your mom or a friend. But the museum visit is what you write about to them.

Figure out a topic and just go. Don't wait for it to be perfect. Just start writing. And force yourself to post at least once a week.

Get on Dall-E or MidJourney and start prompting. Creative stuff will emerge. It will inspire you to take some action. (See the image from this blog post. That practically inspired this whole list.)
