The day reminded me of those “Need a penny take a penny signs” that I used to see by cash registers in my childhood. More than once today I thought, wouldn’t it be great if I could dip into a bin like that when I am just a little short creatively? Need the right adjective/starting point/big idea?
Can’t think of one?
No problem!
Let me just slip over to that “Need a creative thought, take a creative thought” bin and grab the shiniest one in the bunch….Oh look…it’s perfect!! Why didn’t I think of that? Oh well, pay the bill (i.e. finish the assignment) and move on.
Instead, I found myself with my brow furrowed pouring thoughts into my notebook that would be worthy of a “Need a mediocre thought take a mediocre thought” bin.
Le sigh thank gawd for my work partner, Bernadette.
