Creativity is a lifestyle for me, not an action. This month I'm exploring twenty-six quirky ways I keep my creativity flowing.
Sometimes when I'm answering emails I decide to get creative and play the
Email Game. I invented this game for several reasons, one of the biggest is because I have a habit of rambling in emails. Plus the game helps my editing skills.
The Email Game Example: Jane Doe and you are in an email conversation. Her latest email contains 156 words. Your reply contains 195 words. It's your job to edit and re-write your email until it contains no more than 156 words, and bonus points if you can get below 156. It's that simple.

Have you ever played a version of this email game? I've sometimes wondered if the email recipients notice the copy-cat lengths of emails... Do you think you'd notice?
