Don’t be a drone
Someone who thinks outside the box
Is so refreshing

The link above will take you to a great article that will show you how you can start thinking differently––from a new perspective, in other words, thinking beyond the box. I believe these tips can also help writers be more creative in their storytelling. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Well done, Vashti. (I’m no good at all with poetry.) I enjoyed the article too… except #11, since i just can’t write poems! Hahaha! Mega hugs. 😀

Hi Teagan! Thank you. I’m happy you enjoyed the haiku and article but I’m having a hard time believing that you’re no good at poetry. Your writing is just a step from it––it’s so beautiful.

Good haiku and love the suggestions. No comment on Teagan’s reply (I also agree she writes beautifully) but I’m another one who can’t do poetry.

I enjoy trying to find a different point of view, but sometimes I find myself going too far. Sometimes the obvious can be the most beautiful. For example “thank you” can be the simplest and most powerful reply

I agree. Not about you going too far, but what you said about the simple answer is the best. Phew! 😉 I feel that multiple POVs has its purpose. It depends on the genre and story. I’ve mentioned the book, Lord of the Rings, this is a perfect example where multiple POVs work perfectly.

Love your haiku. Went to the site and read the ways that we can learn to think outside the box. Very unique and different ideas.

To think outside the box. Yes, taking a shower, it’s true; the water is relaxing so that must be why. I also didn’t know poetry could be used in that way, which works for me since I like poetry already. 🙂 Drawing is another one I do, usually of scenes or characters I’m working on.

Ha, ha! In the shower? I believe poetry gives you the greatest freedom of expression! I love to draw too! or my Fantasy Angels Series I sketched out each character and illustrated a map of my world! It helped me really get into my story. 😀

Lol, yes! 😀 That’s so cool! You are very talented, Vashti. I have yet to create a perfect map for my world, but it’s probably something I should start on. 🙂

I agree Vashti if we are not prisoners to convention it gives us the freedom to create and experiment with new methods. It opens the door to imagination 😃
