f you want to be creative your best served by not isolating yourself, but instead by immersing yourself in the environments, communities, and spaces where you can be inspired most. Only looking to temporarily isolate yourself once you’ve had enough time immersed in the world.
The conclusion is a call to action. The author wants the reader to change his mindset and make a change.
The important thing here is that the stage of isolation—or idea incubation—isn’t the entire creative process in and of itself. When it comes to isolation: our ideas are best served by limiting that break to only brief intervals that will allow us to synthesize what we’ve taken in.The purpose of a break is to take all of the noise of the work and world and quiet the incoming signals long enough for our brains to focus. But when there’s little to focus on—if we’ve been isolating ourselves too much—the exercise becomes futile.Isolation helps us to limit the noise long enough to make sense of what we’ve taken in; it allows us to trim the mental fat, so to speak, in an effort to tune our mental abilities on the pieces that we can influence or which will influence us.
Leading up to the conclusion the author does a nice recap to really drive his point home and make it clear to the reader.
So if isolation isn’t the key to creative ideas, why do many experts and creative professionals remark on it so often? Because isolation may not be the critical component of creativity, it does play an important role.
After a long line of research, the author goes into a more conversational tone and starts to connect with and engage the audience with questioning.
n their research on “Deconstructing the Lone Genius Myth”, researchers Alfonso Montuori and Ronald E. Purser write:
Here the author is using research to support his point and help him debunk the myth that creativity comes from isolation. You will need to cite one of the articles from this course in your post.
f we want to have a truly unique idea, the theory goes, we must lock ourselves away with inspiration in order to get it. But the reality is that isolation is important for only one stage of the creative process.
Here the author is debunking a myth. This reminds me of the "little engines" you wrote last week. Most people think , but in reality__. If you have a topic that fit that engine you could adopt the organization of blog.
Is isolation a necessary component of creative thinking?
This author starts with a big question that he will answer in his blog. This works because the question is interesting in an of itself.
I’ve saved $185 in three months. That’s not a ton of money by any means, but I’m going to keep this up for a year and then decide where to put my cash. Okay, that’s a lie. I’ve mentally already got it earmarked for the honeymoon fund! It’s on track to pay for a couple of fancy dinners or to splurge on an indulgent experience.
This seems to be the main point. Your blog post should have a main purpose or point that is crystal clear to your readers.
What’s the point?
Here is another helpful heading. I like how she use questions because it helps me as the reader understand exactly what he will say.

This title is engaging because it is personal and a little funny. It is also informative; I am not guessing what I will learn in this post.
