M.i.n.d. Design™ Styles..... Alan's Cre8ng™ Challenges
Are you creative?
Do others call you creative?
Do you wish you were more creative?
How are you creative?
If your answer to any of the above is yes, then my book:
Broken Crayons will teach you how to become more creative through the analogy of broken crayons.
It serves as a reminder through the entire book that to become more creative, you need to do things differently; do things out-of-the-ordinary; and break existing barriers or remove current limitations, real, implied or imaginary.
I wrote Broken Crayons in a conversational tone, as if I was speaking directly to you. It is meant to be read, contemplated, challenged, and re-read. You are to form your own thoughts, which in turn strengthen your creativity.
The book was meant to be yours! Write notes in the margin, highlight passages, and form your own thoughts about the material.
