Having a hard time getting your creative juices flowing? In a bit of a slump? we find that usually a good question is all it takes to get that pen moving. Try these on for size:
- What is a lasting childhood memory that, in the light of adulthood, couldn’t have happened due to absurdity? (Personally, I have a memory of an episode of Sesame Street in which they instruct the viewer on proper butt wiping technique. Nope! No way that happened.)
- What would your “deranged millionaire” hobby be if you won the lottery tomorrow? (By the way, travel doesn’t cut it as deranged. Helicopter pilot might and nose spray collector definitely does!)
- Describe the best time you had doing a mundane and/or menial task. What made it enjoyable?
- Have you ever bought something you knew you weren’t going to use? A book you would never read? What was it? Why did you finally go through with the purchase? (I’m actually REALLY curious about this one, please write in and tell us!)
- Describe the best time you had at a fast food place.
- Uncommon uses for a superpower. For instance, using telekinesis to win an oyster opening competition (they exist!1).
