“To astound the
world, you must
sink into creativity
as a heroic act.”
~ Evelyn Rodriguez

Is that quote HOT or what?
Evelyn has a sexy, sexy, brain.

Her recent post at Crossroads Dispatches invites us all on a trip through the creative process, in which Evelyn herself will play tour guide and ‘reality show participant’, as she not only tells us about her creative habits, but works on a project before our very eyes. Pretty cool, eh?

She also encourages us to choose a project of our own, and work on developing it right beside her. I’m going to take her up on the offer, but I need to figure out WHICH project to work on, and I better do it fast — Tour Guide Rodriguez has a schedule to keep!

Evelyn has the itinerary for our creative journey posted on her site:

  1. Preparation. (I call this stage, Saturation, because I am immersing myself in as much information as I can.) Now until April 8th.

  2. Incubation. (Letting the ideas “simmer”.) April 9th-April 12th. (If you are able to come to the San Francisco Bay Area, come in person to the Dwelve Live “Advance”. I’ll also offer tips for a solo incubation wherever you are.

  3. Illumination. (The aha! insight.) April 13th-17th.4. Translation. (Translating your insight into action.) April 18th-24th.

  4. Translation. (Translating your insight into action.) April 18th-24th.

I think it’ll be a great trip — won’t you come along?

Soar like an Eagle. Run like an Ostrich.

Eagles are cool. People are always talking about soaring with them (soaring is even a cooler word when used in conjunction with eagles.) The eagle is majestic airborne creature whose is used to represent our country and appears in a lot of government buildings, on most of our currency, and is cast for use in numerous medals, […]

Third Time is a Charm?

Movies based on Marvel comic book heroes seem to have two options: Super HERO (Spiderman, Iron Man, Blade) and Super ZERO (Daredevil, Hulk, Ghost Rider.) Another trend is that the movies that start out great get lamer as they go along (Spidey 3 SUCKED) and those that start out bad get better (Punisher 2 — […]
