Jim Connolly: Rewired for Creative Thinking

It had to.
I had undiagnosed dyslexia. I couldn’t access the typical linear, language-based pathways most people use. So, my brain developed non-standard routes for processing information.

Read the actual great creators in your field, not articles about how those works were created.
Study Andy Warhol and his body of work. Not "10 Tips to create like Andy Warhol."

Publishing is full of short-sighted “no’s”.

Creatively-designed, Marketing Nonsense.
Someone asked me earlier about the role of creativity in marketing. In short, it’s creativity that crafts the message and image. And it has the power to convince intelligent people to do, or believe, some bizarre things.

Marketing and fashion makes fools of us.
It’s 2025 and we drink out of jars. If you told someone this not too long ago, they’d wonder how broke you were not to be able to afford a glass. 🤦🏻♂️
