Every day we play with a creative challenge. What we create doesn’t have to be grand. It doesn’t have to be perfect. We aim to stretch our creative muscles, be playful, and have fun!
Every day we take a little journey with some unexpected turns. That’s the beauty of creativity. If you just let it, it will fill you with wonder.
The Challenge
Our creative challenge today is made of the following set. If you are familiar with the creomondi building blocks, use the set to explore, imagine, and create. Alternatively, read how we played with it for inspiration first.
The Playground We Will Explore
The Seed We Will Use in our Exploration
And We Are Aiming to Create…
Let’s Play
Today, our goal is to write a 50-Word Story — a micro-universe with precisely 50 words, no more and no less.
To find inspiration, we will look around us, wherever we are and wherever we go, and we will use the Casino Seed as something to help us focus and discover surprising things.
I went jogging with the Seed in mind. On my way, I saw a young woman, all dressed up for a workout. If it wasn’t for the cigarette in her mouth and the cloud of smoke surrounding her, I would have guessed she is about to start running, leaving me in the dust. This dissonance, together with the Seed, inspired me to write the following short story.
50%. Is that an answer? What is she expected to do with that? Where will she be tomorrow? Or next year? She found her workout playlist, put on her running shoes and her Rudy Project sunglasses. She went out and lit a cigarette. Life is a series of bets.
Now, It Is Your Turn…
Don’t follow my steps! Take the set of cards and play with them. Use them as a guide and not as a set of rules. Let your imagination lead the way. Don’t dismiss your ideas.
Have fun! Be creative!
