We present "Second Look", a platform of interactive surfaces and wearable computing for helping people, in particular creative writers, to overcome writer's block. The novelty of our systems stems from the addition of wearable devices (Google Glass) and crowdsourcing to improve creative writing on tablets and phones. A primary challenge in developing and evaluating creativity support tools is that we are not able to detect when a person is being creative. Our approach improves current ones by exploring the "in-the-moment" creativity and supporting it with adaptive ubiquitous technologies that try to keep people in a creative experience peak for a longer period of time.
