Stumped by the blank page or canvas? Feeling creative, but haven’t a clue what to use as a jumping-off point? Try what I did and pull out your dictionary. There are a ton of great ideas in here! Here’s what I found and each one is something I could easily use as a concept—literally or figuratively. Dust off your own dictionary and see what words jump out as you. I’m going to pin my list up on my bulletin board and pull from it for a while.
