Flip through any book or magazine, creating a list of ten words that catch your eye. Look up any words you don’t know. Then write a 14-line poem that incorporates all ten words.

Daily Creativity #2: Start a Dream Journal
Create a notebook or document dedicated to recording your dreams. To begin, write down as many dreams as you can remember from your life, then try to record your dreams daily as soon as you wake up. Use this repository as inspiration for a poem, story, or piece of art.
