For most of my life, creativity felt chaotic.
Ideas would appear out of nowhere — stories, worlds, inventions, projects — but very few of them ever became real things.
Eventually I started thinking about creativity differently.
What if creativity works less like lightning… and more like an engine?
In a combustion engine, fuel sits under pressure until a spark plug ignites it. The explosion pushes the pistons, the pistons turn the crankshaft, and the machine begins to move.
Creativity might work the same way.
Ideas are the fuel.
But ideas alone don’t move anything.
They sit there - full of potential - waiting for a spark.
A Creative Spark is that ignition. A small act of creation that turns raw ideas into movement.
A blog post.
A sketch.
A short story.
A prototype.
A conversation that becomes a project.
One spark might not seem like much.
But engines don’t run on one explosion.
They run on continuous sparks.
That’s the philosophy behind Norm E. Verse.
Not waiting for the perfect masterpiece.
Just lighting the next spark.
