Creative Story: Deadlock

Creative story: Deadlock "Bzzz.Bzzz!" Alarm sounded, Susan Calvin rolled over. At 6:30 am RoboTimer ™ completed a wonderful job and woke up to the second factory programming. Unfortunately, when announcing "Good morning on Saturday, December 14th", it is not set to the correct date. She just slept as she returned to Earth.

The answer is: a story. A story about your life, your creativity, your product, what you are developing: This is the center of the trinity of the creative process. The story is the result of a successful combination of all three processes and definitely speaking your story is the ultimate goal of unleashing the possibilities of creativity!

How Ray Bradbury wrote his classic novel did not match our preconceptions of creativity. The expression "creative freedom" means that creativity needs to grow freely. When we think about ideas, we consider those happy souls who willingly penetrate many ideas into their minds and penetrate many wines into their blood. However, I realized that there are possibilities that constraints can be useful, not destroying creativity. Just as Adam Morgan and Mark Ba ​​den argue in their book "Beauty Constraints", a 30 minute countdown watch constrains Bradbury to complete his novel at recordable speed He is witty.

For creative people it is often difficult to find an appropriate amount of restraint and freedom. Some restrictions promote creative thinking, but suffocate too. Inktober set a good balance for me. Rules on the frequency of results set clear and easy-to-manage timeframes. I chose not to follow prompts because I wanted to choose themes freely everyday, but I added rules on format and color. I chose a paper in a horizontal format that can get out of the comfort zone of the usual A4 / A3 format. With regard to color, we decided to handle only black and white, in order to test the possibility of monochrome deeper.
