Weekly writing coach: 5 creativity hacks, from Twitter

I find all sorts of sparks for my creativity on Twitter, and this week, my pals must've been reading my mind (and my tweets), since they passed along all sorts of inspiring reads on creativity. Here are some resources for rebooting your creativity--and I've taken some creative license with what to include in this post, just to reboot my own:

• May the force be with you:  The great Copyblogger shared The Force That Powers Persuasive Content (and 3 Ways to Intensify It).  As dialacina noted, " I love you. You just explicated Aristotle's Rhetoric using Star Wars."
• It's all in your head: Chillami shared 12 ways to unleash your creativity, which advises going inside to revamp your approach and mindset.
• Stop whining and start rethinking: Via Librarian by Day, check out this post from The Heart of Innovation on 26 Reasons Why Most Brainstorming Sessions Suck (& what to do about it). I facilitate retreats and brainstormings for communications teams--email me at info[at]dontgetcaught[dot]biz.
• Writers, wake up:  David Despain passed along why coffee and writing go hand-in-hand -- just as I was having a slow morning. This may help jolt your thinking.
