SMALL HOURS / ORIGINAL SAMPLE
A Fresh Page
A blank page can be a lovely place to start. Pick a prompt, collect a few possibilities and follow the one that makes you curious.
01. Notice the ordinary.
What ordinary thing have you noticed three times this week? Describe it without judging it.
02. Make an unlikely pair.
Combine two unrelated interests. What useful or playful thing could sit between them?
03. Follow a question.
Think of a question a friend recently asked. What could help someone with the same question?
04. Make it smaller.
Try one page, one scene, one recipe or one useful feature. What is the smallest version of your idea?
05. Try a rough version.
Choose the idea you most want to try. Sketch it and name one thing you would like to discover.
Yours to print, reuse and adapt. A starting point, at your own pace.
