Online Inspiration: Creative Liberty
Liz Massey is a creativity coach and the blogger behind Creative Liberty, a blog dedicated to fostering creativity across media. Liz offers a bounty of interesting articles related to creativity, including a weekly roundup of creative links (in which Creative Construction has been mentioned a couple of times–thanks, Liz!).
I happened across an interesting piece that Liz wrote on “one-sentence journaling“–the idea being that short and sweet may be just the key to unlocking your creative self.
Perfectionism and over-scheduling are two enemies of creative expression, and one-sentence journaling has the advantage of tackling both of them head-on….While writers may seem to benefit the most from keeping one-sentence journals, it is a handy tool for anyone who finds that recording their ideas on a regular basis leads to creative expression later.
This is an excellent tool for creative people with little time to spare. It’s a great way to stay creative, make a record of the day’s highlight (or downfall) and, quite possibly, retain your sense of humor. To read more about this intriguing technique, read the full article here.
I look forward to continuing a mutually creative relationship with Liz!

Thank you so much for the kind words. The one-sentence journal entry features an interview with Quinn McDonald, who is also a creativity coach (and who has her own awesome blog at http://quinncreative.wordpress.com/)
I love your group blog and I’m happy to be weaving the threads that will connect all of us and lead to richer, more satisfying and more effortless creative projects! š
i really love this one-sentence-journaling idea. many years ago, i used to do similar, commuting around boston, on the T, notebook in hand, i jotted down whatever i saw, heard, what came to mind. little gems each of them, after i was in the habit. who says i can’t do that around the house, babe-in-arms? it sure beats the dream of sitting and journaling 3 pages of uninterrupted thoughts. this is doable, and my experience in the past tells me it really lends to more creativity. you swim in it when you keep it closer to the surface of your mind.
This looks like a great site I will have to go check it out, thx for bringing it to the fore front!
