Seth Simmonds had a guest post all about big ideas on Chris Brogan’s blog. I confess I didn’t read it… I’ll go back and do so, I promise. I skipped directly to this:

This is a lesson for writers: next time you think you’ve come up with a scene, a character, a plot point that’s totally original, totally out there, absolutely unlike anything else, ask yourself:

Take your writing and shove it down a fish’s throat. See what it looks like when you pull it back out. Repeat until there’s nothing in the real world that can top it.
Scribtotum
Poor fish. And while these macho men brag about their catch we watch the death of two beautiful fish. So sad…
Hi, Matt!
That’s a very different take on creativity! Let me know your thoughts once you’ve read the post that came before the crazy video.
Thanks!
Seth
