Reframe I Am Not Creative Into a Starting Brief You Can Act On
I am not creative usually means something more specific: scared of judgement, no idea how to begin, or comparing a first attempt to someone else's hundredth draft. This names what is really going on, then turns it into a small, sized starting brief you can finish in under an hour.
