One of the best investments
I make each year
is buying a package of
fine felt tip pens
in a variety of colors.
You see…
one of the ways
to look at a piece of writing differently
and to inspire creativity
is to add color.
If I’m stuck creatively,
I’ll start handwriting in another color.
It shakes my thinking up.
I’m not imagining this.
It is real.
Studies have shown
that red enhances memory
(why edits are often done
in red pen)
and blue inspires creativity
(I use a sky blue).
If you’re stuck,
try a different color pen.
(And not those ugly black or blue pens
found in every office supply cabinet).
