I flipping love Lady Gaga.
I’ve heard her described as “the new Madonna” and I can see why; but that’s doing her a disservice.
She’s obviously influenced by Madonna, and has said as much, but she’s also influenced by other artists—and she’s taken all those influences, added a dash of weird, and made it all her very own.
Which is what creativity and originality is.
It’s not coming up with something 100% unique—it’s not creating a unicorn.
Creativity and originality is all about picking and choosing, making connections, and turning them into something uniquely you.
So my prompt today is: make like Lady Gaga and create a connection. Put a twist on something familiar.
Set a timer and have at it.
Happy writing!
TTFN,
Vicky
