How to convert Creative Inspiration into Action Taking with Cynthia Morris


Listen Later

Jonathan & Cynthia talk about:

  1. What is the purpose of inspiration
  2. Who are your creative ancestors
  3. The dance between consuming vs being inspired by vs deconstructing & learning
  4. Tapping into how a creative work makes you feel and how to infuse your creativity
  5. The humbling nature of writing and many drafts needed
  6. How to listen out for your inner bullsh*t detector

  7. We’re super-excited to be introducing some fresh new formats to the mix here on the SPARKED podcast. Our new Hot Takes segments, which we launched a few weeks back, tackle hot topics in conversation with expert guides from the SPARKED Braintrust. And, today, we’re sharing this Hot Take with Cynthia Morris.

    Cynthia is the founder of the Original Impulse creative studio and atelier and coaching program for writers, she’s also an author, workshop facilitator, trusted advisor and coach. 

    Today we shine the spotlight on creative inspiration and how to turn it into action taking and output. We explore the purpose of inspiration, understanding who our creative ancestors are, and more. And in this time of reimagining, global burnout and upheaval we look at the difference between passively consuming, being simply inspired and the desire to deconstruct and learn from the art we’re enjoying. Cynthia shares a great strategy for journaling to connect with your ‘artist self’ and we both reflect on the many drafts it takes to create great work and the humbling nature of writing.

    Enjoy this Sparked Hot Take on creativity, inspiration and expression, we hope it ignites some creative action taking of your own.
