7 Steps for "Out of the Box" Thinking

Sometimes we can get into a writing rut, often without realizing it. Here are 7 steps that you can take to keep your writing fresh and keep your mind creative. 



  1. Change your environment: Sometimes, a change of scenery can do wonders for your writing. Try moving to a different room, or even a different location altogether. The new surroundings can inspire new ideas and help you think outside of the box.

  2. Read something new: Reading outside of your comfort zone can be a great way to broaden your perspective and come up with new ideas. Try reading a book or a magazine in a genre you wouldn't normally read.

  3. Try a new hobby: Trying something new can be a great way to inspire new ideas and think outside of the box. Whether it's painting, photography, or playing an instrument, a new hobby can help you to think creatively.

  4. Take a break: Sometimes, taking a break from writing can help you to come up with new ideas. Take a walk, go for a run, or simply sit and relax. The break will give your mind time to wander and come up with new ideas.

  5. Listen to music: Listening to music can be a great way to inspire new ideas and think creatively. Put on some music and let it take you to a different place.

  6. Collaborate with others: Collaborating with other writers or artists can be a great way to come up with new ideas and think outside of the box. Share your ideas with others and see what they come up with.

  7. Write in a different format: If you're feeling stuck, try writing in a different format. Instead of writing a short story, try writing a poem or a script. Changing the format can help you to think outside of the box and come up with new ideas.

In conclusion, thinking outside of the box takes a bit of effort and creativity, but it's worth it. The ideas you come up with can be unique and exciting. Give yourself the time and freedom to explore different avenues and see where it takes you. Remember, the key is to be open-minded and to be willing to try new things.
