English Summary/英文概要： The Creative Seed is the prefect guidebook for
anyone who has an interest in exploring some
form of creative expression. Even if you think
you don’t have an ounce of creative flair, you
can discover and nurture a new, exciting
dimension in your life. Whether you are already
involved in some form of creative expression, a
raw beginner or well established, this book
provides a host of strategies to keep you
inspired and on track in living your creative
dream. The book is written in two parts. The first
is designed for newcomers to identify the
creative interest they would like to explore.The common myths of creativity are challenged and stimulating exercises are
provided to help the reader discover their creative strengths. This section
concludes with an original concept explaining the creative process called the SEED
approach — an acronym that stands for skills, experimentation, evaluation and
discovery. The concept is aimed at guiding beginners and established creators to
clearly understand the nature of the creative process. Part Two addresses the
common difficulties people experience, such as anxiety, low self-confidence and
procrastination. Chapters provide case histories, questions and exercises to assist
the reader in gaining self-awareness and practical skills to be active and successful
in their creative expression.
