Using Writing, Speaking, and Words to Open The Creative Mind to Innovate

By Lance Winslow

It’s not easy become a superstar of creativity or a master of innovation, and yet, it is not as hard as you might think either. Not long ago, I met an individual who invented some software that helped promote the innovative mind by re-combining areas of the human endeavor in unique ways. The software worked on the theory of randomness, although, I’d hardly call it totally random. After the software combined stuff it would ask questions and the user could determine if the matched phrases brought up any ideas.

Sure enough it did, pretty cool indeed. Still, you do not need software to do this, as you can do it with your writing or speaking without computer assisted help. Here is how I’ve done it in the past. I decided to write 1,000s of articles of about 250 words each, but then I ran out of things to write about so, I took words from the dictionary and started combining them. For instance with the “A’s” I used abate, accelerate, advance, aerial, after, against. Notice the Ab, Ac, Ad, Ae, Af and Ag at the start of each word.

Then I’d say them out loud and try to make titles to articles or headlines out of them like; Accelerated Abatement of Advance Aerial, what? Then I’d try to finish the sentence or heading and I might add something like Accelerated Abatement of Advanced Aerial - Design Materials for Stealth Aircraft. So, then I’d write 250 words on this topic, do some research, ask more questions and let my mind go, until I came up with something innovative, novel, intriguing or worthy.
