Creative Ideas
Dr. John's Eazy-Peazy Guide to Creative Ideas uses a series of "Idea Engines" to help spark creative, imaginative writing ideas, especially in your fiction or poetry writing contexts.
E. L. Doctrow says, "Writing is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as the headlights, but you make the whole trip that way." Many times the headlights of creativity just don't illuminate into the darkness far enough. What you need are some creative, imaginative ideas that will prompt you to continue your thinking, and hopefully, your writing.
