  2. Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way is a sort of 12-step program in creativity. One of the things that stuck with me about Cameron’s book was the idea of “filling the well.” She notes that everyone has an inner reservoir of creativity, and if all we ever do is draw from that reservoir, it can get depleted. Creative people need to refill the well to keep creativity flowing. Association people do, too.
  3. [Host](Q1) How do you know when you've run out of good ideas and need some new inspiration?

    [A1] When a blank page (or screen) is daunting instead of exciting. #assnchat

    [A1] Maybe it's when I avoid the project or initiative. Don't know where to start. #assnchat

    Q1 #assnchat Good or bad - as long as you still have ideas percolating there's something to work with.
