Jurgen Wolff

To follow on from the lecture i attended earlier in the week with Jools, we discussed the ideas of Jugen Wolff

and creative writing. I especially liked the idea of capturing and preserving new ideas as they occur and

doing so without judging them. i.e. every idea/opinion counts, regardless of what it is and how or when you take

down or preserve an idea. We also discussed how people do this in different ways for e.g. taking the main words or points from

an idea and putting them forward. However, the way in which i myself preserve ideas, is as i think of an

idea i write is down straight away. I think, for myself, this is the best way in which i keep my ideas together.

I also agree with Wolff's idea that the more diverse a persons knowledge and experiences are, then the more creative

they can be.

Ok, so we have been told to 'do something different', to help us become more productive. So i did the thing i hate the most;

sitting through a film i don't like. So recently, i watched District 9 (which i didn't like), so i watched it over again

but this time with an open mind and i actually sort of erm liked it. Maybe because i took notice of certain things more for

e.g. how it was put together in a sort of documentary way, but yet still be action-packed with sci-fi.

I have also been looking through Wolff's website and have come across some interesting ideas. Here is a short piece about

ideas and thoughts i read from Wolff's blog:
