Nothing is more important than creativity when it comes to writing. The following selection of tips will boost your creativity.

1. Make notes of your (fleeting) brilliant ideas.
2. Keep a journal to keep the writing juices flowing.
3. Use a journal to sort out your thoughts and feelings.
4. Watch people.
5. Do a ’stream of consciousness’ piece and see where it leads you.
6. Allow your mind to wander.
7. Meditate regularly to steady the mind.
8. Mow the lawn, take a walk, go for a run…anything that requires the conscious mind to focus so the subconscious is free to create.
9. Record random thoughts, story ideas, quotes on your phone when you’re out and about.
10. Study nature for simile possibilities.
11. Keep the flow going. If it’s clicking for you, keep writing.
12. Write using a pencil instead of a laptop for more creativity.
13. Get to know someone different from you and reflect on the experience.
14. Try new ideas or hobbies – the more variety you have in your life, the more likely you are to keep on generating good ideas on the page.
15. Take time to muse.
16. Write at the scene. If you want to write about a beach, get a picnic rug and go write by the sea.
17. Collect words.
18. Write everything down. Don’t trust your memory when you have a good idea, especially at night.
19. Trying to convey a certain emotion but not sure how? Listen to music that conveys a certain emotion in you while writing.
20. Cure for Writer’s Block: Read a great article from a favourite author or publication.
21. Write on paper with the opposite hand. The awkwardness and level of difficulty create time for more thoughts to enter your head.
22. When you feel blocked, do something mindless, like ironing or going for a quiet walk.
23. Write outside.
24. Write when it comes to you.
25. Don’t wait for ideas. Find them everywhere.
