SuperWord to the Rescue
I have been reaching for a little inspiration to get my creative juices flowing all morning. So I thought what better way to do this than to reach for an Idea Improv card:
The Super Word technique is an idea generation technique that is known by many names; some call it Fishing, others refer to it as an Oracle, still others know it as Author Advice. It doesn’t matter what you call it – the technique is simple and effective. Some people use a book of fiction, others a spiritual book like the Bible, some use a book of quotations, some just use the dictionary – it really doesn’t matter. Some people like to be inspired by song lyrics, or lines of poetry. You could even use catch phrases from movies or television, or even from advertising campaigns.
Let the word or phrase inspire you with regard to you project, issue or goal. Does it speak directly to the process? Is there an analogy or metaphor you can draw? How about a reversal that you can make?
