The Manic Pixie Dream Girl way
1: Go to your local grocery store on a lazy, humid Saturday afternoon.
2: Walk aimlessly through the cereal aisle.
3: Pretend you're on the set of a cheesy 70s film. Listen to the questionable song choice over the store's intercom system.
4: Begin singing softly to yourself. Snap like you're listening to a slow jazz song. Make your way to the frozen foods section.
5: Pass your reflection in the glass of the freezers and twirl a little. Walk by customers and watch smiles stretch across their faces like putty.
The Missed Connection way
1: Go to a big city in which you know almost no one.
2: Visit a coffee shop and order something.
3: Read that paperback you've been working on-the one with the dogeared-pages and yellowed pages.
4: Notice a stranger and smile in his/her/its direction.
5: Admire their returned smile and hastily leave the coffee shop because of overwhelming anxiety induced by human interaction.
The Expressive Artist way
1: Develop a talent that you use as an expressive outlet.
2: Make something you're proud of and start part of the co-creative process of making art.
3: Experience the other half of the co-creative process-that of the audience. Watch as what you've made affects them, how they bring their own experiences and stories to the one you've created. Watch them experience beauty.
