Write Like A Master

"Your penmanship says a lot about how you respect your ideas." This was a comment made to me by Kevin Carroll, the creative catalyst for brands like Nike, Mattel, Disney, ESPN and Starbucks. It's not something you typically hear when referencing creativity. But you stop and think about the statement, you realize it's true. By slowing down and being intentional with your note-taking you are giving your mind and creative spirit a chance to breathe and further develop an idea. Too often we rush to dump something down. Yet we know creativity needs time and space. By giving true thought while you write, you are stepping into the alter ego of a true artist and creator rather than just a person who bangs down notes. Buy a beautiful journal and elegant pens and curate your ideas like a designer, artist, academic leader, or a great writer of the past. © GB
