Indie Web Carnival
is a monthly blogging event in the Indie Web community where each month
a different person hosts the month: they select a topic, collect
submissions and write a roundup post at the end.
For an individual blogger, it’s a great opportunity to write more and
explore topics you might not otherwise explore. It’s also a great way to
find new bloggers and expand your views on topics as you get to read
other people’s writing on the same topic that you just did.
Whether you are an active blogger or not, I invite you to join. Maybe
this is the prompt that gets you back to your writing practice to write
and publish more.
You can participate by writing (or recording) and publishing your
thoughts about the topic and sharing a link with me. At the end of the
month, I’ll collect all the submissions into a wrap-up post and you get
to learn what other people around the globe think about the topic.
Your piece should be published in May 2024 and shared with me at latest
Friday, May 31st.
The format can be anything that’s shareable and accessible in the open
web: blog posts, videos, podcasts, poems, short stories, illustrations,
photos, you name it.
To submit your piece, you can:
I invite you to share your thoughts, experiences and what ever ideas pop
to your mind about creative environments. I have left the topic
intentionally bit vague. If it doesn’t immediately give you an idea,
maybe some of these prompts could help you:
What kind of environments you create in and what works for you or what
you’d like to improve. Has things changed lately? If yes, was it
intentional or forced and how has it affected your creative energy?
Do different creative efforts benefit from or even require a different
environment? How does different time of the day, month, year or season
play into the question?
You could also share stories from environments that you deem creative
either themselves or the way they are created.
Or you can interpret in a different way that I didn’t even consider when
choosing the topic. World is your oyster.
I would love to hear what you consider creativity and what kind of
effect do different environments have on it.
Here's an updating list of the wonderful submissions by people, in order
