How to Be More Creative
Welcome back! Did I tell you I love comments? Very few people write... Be original :)
A few days ago I purchased and read Marelisa Fábrega’s ebook entitled How to Be More Creative – A Handbook for Alchemists.
The best books to read aren’t necessarily nation-wide best sellers. That does not make Marelisa an amateur, she is a popular blogger on the creativity theme and has years worth of research, leisure reading, writing and practice on the subject. She also has top-rated Squidoo lenses (<100) and a long-time readership.
Three Things that Stand Out.
The first is the writing. Marelisa is from Panama, so one can only assume that English isn’t her native language. It isn’t mine either, but my writing is nothing special. You can come back and check on that once in a while for the next few years, I will surely get better 
Content is great, but when it is well written, it permeates. You remember more, are struck with more images, and ultimately are able to apply more without having to reread.
Nonetheless, content there is, and a lot of it, so printing and binding the ebook, as well as interacting with it as instructed is highly recommended.
Then there are the references. Where else can you expect to learn creativity secrets and insights from many great minds as Mark Twain, Isaac Asimov, Guy Kawasaki, Stephen King, Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli… And many others I hadn’t ever heard about. If you were to search the internet for such wide-ranging views on creativity, you would miss out on many.
There are also a heap of online references. Links to interactive tools and exercises, as well as further content sources that illustrate her own. Great finds for future exploration that you would miss otherwise, and that would be a shame.
Then comes the technique. You’ll come back often to explore further and apply it, because it is fun and rewarding. A few days isn’t nearly enough for me to describe the full potential, but I have made great progress already. For this blog alone, as well as my other projects, ideas and actions have been flowing easier, and I see things going much further as time passes.
Like many great resources, this is one you will want to keep close by if you have a mind to doing more, better things in the near future.

Hi Charles: I’m so glad you enjoyed my ebook, thank you for the review. Although it’s true that Spanish is my first language, my family lived in the Unite States for two years when I was very young, and although we then returned to Central America, I was placed in American schools throughout my childhood. In addition, I went to college and law school in the US. I’m glad the ebook has gotten your creative juices flowing.
Hi Marelisa, it was lots of fun to read and very instructive, therefore fun to write about! Thanks for stopping by!
Hi, I didn’t know english wasn’t your first language (it’s not mine either). Anyway I do think that effective copywriting can make or break things.
Hi Oscar,
I’m not big on copywriting, I just do my best to keep it clear (I tend to write sentences that are too long and get carried away with parentheses).
Oops, did it again!
Like Marelisa, I was in school in the US for a large part of my childhood so it has no real merit (some people learn the hard way, with books from scratch, and have a lot more merit than I do).
Again!
