Welcome to the Carnival of Creativity for January 22, 2012. There are some awesome links in this edition. They’ll open in a new window or tab, so click through and show these folks some comment love.
The Creative Mindset
Theresa Torres presents How to Naturally Encourage Artistic Development in Young Children posted at The Inspired Classroom, saying, “I want to share with parents some easy-to-do activities that will help encourage and develop creativity in their children.” Great activities to do with kids, but they’d be fun for grown ups, too!
Sharing Our Work
Molly Cunningham presents 10 Things Looney Tune Characters Would Tweet posted at Live-In Nanny, saying, “Since the birth of Looney Tunes in the 1930′s, generations of children have watched the antics of the animated ensemble. Irrefutable pop-culture icons, the long and sometimes-controversial lives of the characters has been the topic of many a debate. If the ‘toons had been tweeters, these might be some of the things they would have said.”
Jill presents Namasweatý posted at Vim-and-Vigor Virgin. Very funny!
Creativity Boosts
Jon Rhodes presents Automatic Writing posted at HypnoBusters, saying, “This article shows you how to do automatic writing, which will greatly aid the creative process of writing.”
Podcasts
Yep, still talking flora and fauna over at Writing Excuses, and it’s well worth the listen. If you’re not writing sci fi or fantasy, however, take a listen to this podcast from the archives about how to write fight scenes.

Ella presents String Garden art posted at HOME & LANDSCAPE *design fix, saying, “Amazing nature/art installations.”

Creativity Quote of the Week
People usually fail when they are on the verge of success. So give as much care to the end as to the beginning; then there will be no failure. – Lao-tzu
