The Road to Creativity

You crave Creativity, chafing against constraints and preferring to write outside the box. Your biggest roadblock may be frustration: you long to bring a more creative approach to your writing but haven’t yet found a safe and fulfilling way to do so.

Turn your roadblocks into your rocket fuel by filling your tank with writing resources designed to boost your confidence, sharpen your style, and write with creative energy and flair. Below you’ll find Discovery Paths, Reflection Pools, and Landmark Resources to help you navigate the Road to Creativity!

Explore our Pathways to Creativity to find Wayfinder resources tagged with the keyword Creativity. Each Featured Resource is paired with a Featured Timer and a Featured Challenge inviting you to expand your creativity into new territory.

Toss a penny into the Wishing Well; play around in the Splash Pond; gaze into the Still Waters of your deepest self; or drink from the Fountain of Hope. Whichever Reflection Pool you choose, you’ll emerge replenished and inspired!

Within and beyond the WriteSPACE, you’ll find many resources to guide you on your journey to Creativity. Here are some of our top picks.

• Watch: Writing Creatively for Work or Study, a conversation and workshop with creative research expert Helen Kara on how academic and professional writers can bring arts-inspired creative techniques to their writing process.
