Whenever I’m brainstorming ideas for different projects, I always try to keep a few key things in mind. I found some quotes that help me stay inspired even in the deepest of creative slumps:
“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”
― Jack London
I think this is so true. It’s also really easy to forget. Whenever I find myself hitting a wall and I start getting frustrated, I’ll push it off to the side and just wait to be inspired. Why wait? Inspiration can be found everywhere; if it’s not coming to me then I should go to it. Whether it’s by perusing the shelves at my favorite bookstore or taking in the scenery at the beach, there are an unlimited amount of ways I can “go after” inspiration. While I enjoy my more traditional ways of cultivating ideas, there is a more modern approach I have been favoring these days. I think you know what’s coming…
I’ve mentioned my love of Pinterest in passing before, but I just can’t get enough of it! My favorite categories should come as no surprise to you: DIY & Crafts, Holidays & Events, and Weddings. However, I have been known to plan an imaginary new wardrobe through the Women’s Fashion category and laugh out loud (literally) at the pins found in the Humor section. Not to mention the non-existent house I have started to furnish and decorate. I digress.
My personal obsession with Pinterest aside, this site is a wonderful tool that can bring anyone out of the deepest creativity slump. It’s also a great way to share your own brilliant ideas! Creating a Pinterest profile for Event Blossom has been a long time coming and I am thrilled to officially announce that we are now on Pinterest and ready to follow and be followed! Starting today, we’ll be on the lookout for great profiles to follow and we hope that you take some time to come take a look at the pins that the one and only Christina from customer service has curated so far.
Happy Pinning!
