Creativity Companion (Episode 268)
”Accountability buddy” is a great concept, but ”creativity companion” is even better.
A few months earlier this year I sat at Rönneberga hotel and wrote my (soon to be released) book “The World of Creativity”.
In a chair a few meters from me sat Magnus Lindkvist and wrote his book, “How to make AI useful”.
We would write for 45 minutes and then take a five minute break to chat about our writing, or whatever topic came to mind. Or we would just play a game of Shuffle Board.
Writing a book is a wonderful creative practice, but it is (or can be) a very lonely practice.
Magnus had a co-author, Bryan Reimer from MIT, and they had a great co-creation process.
But what me and Magnus had was something else: a space to just vent ideas, thoughts and reflections without any expectations of a result or outcome.
It created a wonderful, creative space for us to write our respective books.
I know for sure my book became better from it.
Who is your Creativity Companion?
Ps. Last night I attended their book launch, and I will do the launch of my book soon. Message me if you want an invite to my launch event 🙂
