Let’s take the third step: 

improvise storytelling

"Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world"

...Robert McKee

We all love a good story, but what gives a great story its power? A great story's power derives from how it magically leads us on a journey with the hero(es) as they manifest their destiny. It documents, explores and enshrines the path of the hero in the minds of the audience, often detailing how the hero discovered their magic; their power to overcome the impossible and reach their goal. 

How do you awaken your creative power? Great artists often (sometimes subconsciously) document, explore and enshrine their path in which they discovered their creative genius and their creative values in a story told in one of their significant works. 

The song Lose Yourself documents how Eminem discovered his creative genius and embraced his creative values to overcome his fears and rise in the world of rap and hip hop. In The Pilgrimage Paulo Coelho enshrined his path to spiritual enlightenment in which he discovered his creative genius and values before establishing himself as a world renowned author. Although Woody Allen denies it, his co-star Diane Keaton asserts that the film Annie Hall explores the ups and downs of their relationship, in which they discovered their shared creative genius and values

As part of their journey to artistic success these great creators documented, explored and enshrined the path they personally took toward self-empowerment through their art. The greatness of the story told in these autobiographical works also exemplifies the creative power which they gained on that journey.

Your creative genius and your creative values will help you improvise

Let's begin with the end of your story

Your creative genius has already shown you an inspired vision of the end of your journey. Your notes from step 1 about your dreams and visions provide details about the end of your story.

Now we move to the start of your story.

Your creative values exist in the here and now, Your notes from step 2 about why you want or need to create your art provide details for the start of your story. If your story were written in prose, the first words could be…

  "I believe in…" 

...followed by a few words summarising your creative values.

Now let's improvise the middle of your story

What simple steps will happen to you along your path? How do these steps align with your creative values, allowing you to realizing the vision of your creative genius?
