How to get unstuck as a creative, an exercise to help generate ideas

This exercise is designed to help you get unstuck and generate some fresh ideas. Here's how to do it:

 1. Look through your phone's library of pictures and choose a random picture that you have no idea why you took it.

2. Write a short description of the image, talking about the colours, the place it was taken, and how it makes you feel.

3. Use this description to create a poem, a short story, or a piece of artwork. Brainstorm ideas and let your imagination run wild. Draw inspiration from the emotions and memories the image evokes. Let this be your starting point to create something completely new.
