Other ways to express your creativity

Just been having a quick look through www.timetowrite.blogs.com/ which is always full of good stuff and came across some ideas for keeping your creativity flowing - even when you don't have time to write. See http://timetowrite.blogs.com/weblog/2010/08/keep-your-writing-chops-alive-even-when-you-dont-have-time-to-write.html

Find other ways to express your creativity. For example, you could:
* write a haiku every day.
* write a short short short story--set a word maximum like 25 words or even ten words. Remember Hemingway's shortest short (sad) story: "For sale: baby shoes. Never used." If you draw a blank, pick three words at random from a magazine and build your story around those.
* Write a ten-words-maximum portrait of someone you saw on the street that day: "Dapper businessman with umbrella and scowl."

I think I might keep this in my diary in an attempt to prompt me into some creativity....
