For those of you wanting a little creative break today, here’s a roundup of amusing and inspiring sites I’ve mentioned before. Some people call these time-wasters, but since they all stimulate creativity, I consider them time very well spent!
Sketch Swap: Draw something with your cursor and submit it, then receive a picture someone else created.
This is Sand: Click on the tiny gray box at the top left of the screen for instructions. You can use your cursor to drop digital sand of different colors and create beautiful virtual designs.
Magnetic Poetry: An electronic version of the refrigerator magnets that turn us all into poets.
Language is a Virus: A variety of inspirational devices including writing prompts, a character name generator, a poetry generator, the text collage, madlib poems, the haiku-a-tron and much more.
Passtime: Three “creative time wasters,” including instructions on writing a haiku using the phone book.
Addictionary: Amusing new words you can peruse, or make up your own.
Good Things Should Never End: Take a trip that’s interactive, creative and surreal.
That’s really cool. The only I’ve heard of is Addictionary. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like these!
