hey Michael here sometimes it's
difficult to get started on creative
projects sometimes you just need to move
now and think later dot-com but if you
want some help
warming up check out the website that
can generate writing prompts to get you
started and even has interactive writing
games you can play but hey if you need
more to get started here are 10 things
for sparking creativity that you can do
online now guys build your empire with
City creator fill your city with
buildings roads and the citizens to live
in it there's even a medieval option so
you can create all the stacks upon
stacks of 12th century horses and their
magical adventures your heart desires
hmm but there's so many characters to
keep track of I'm gonna need some help
visualizing who they are and what they
want better use story line creator input
your characters and the actions they
take to visually map out your devious
plots and twisting tales but if you want
to go on an adventure of your own then
head to dendrite a
choose-your-own-adventure site that lets
you read through stories submitted by
other users pick what happens within it
or write your own
for others to enjoy but if you're out of
ideas and need some suggestions there's
always books ear comm put in the books
you love or have just read and it
recommends similar ones you might like
which reminds me of a neat website
called reshaping excellence this lets
you create a sculpture out of sound and
then add it to a larger sound Monument
but if you want more control over the
audio you create check out the html5
drum kit that's so beautiful
but if traditional instruments aren't
your forte then you can always use dots
the dot McClair lets you gently go
insane as you place your own spheres of
musical mayhem around the room and see
what escapes like this beautiful
rendition of morning mood by Edvard
Grieg that you can play with your
keyboard this one is I guess more about
timing you can actually just press the
same key over and over again or go crazy
remix and smash them all and if checking
these amazing sites is helping you
procrastinate from the actual work you
should be doing you can keep me out calm
a site that blocks any website of your
choice for the amount of time you choose
a note I mean don't block me I love you
I promise you'll you'll get things done
finally in dog news I have an update on
the earth star dog maybe you remember
this it's a website that allows you to
put in your birth date and then find a
star in the sky that is that many
light-years away from Earth so when you
look at it tonight in the sky you see
light that left its surface on the day
you were born it's very cool but it has
since disappeared from the internet
luckily over Twitter last week I was
notified that a new version exists and
it is very cool check that one out
because stars are awesome

spooked check out the Halloween playlist
