I agree with #1, being alone. The poet Carl Sandburg said that "all final decisions are made in a quiet rooms" or something like that. You know, I think in complete opposition to the blog, I have to say that I don't believe you can just sit back and wait for your Eureka moment. You must grind, daily, in and around the medium that you are trying to be creative in. Einstein did not "create" his theories out of thin air. He was grinding on the equations of physics of the day. Really, the same goes for almost anyone who has had a Eureka moment. I believe you must visit your intention to create daily, be that through practicing, writing, blogging, whatever. And you have to be prepared to have creating be 'work' most of the time. Every once in a while you will get lucky and be struck by lightning. But otherwise it's work. Now, it's the work I love, so I try to do it daily, but it is work that most of the time feels less like a flash of light than a long road up a mountain. Just my 23 cents....

This is not a creative article. I feel a paragraph of substance trying to be heard in a storm of fluff. Creative? 1) Give yourself time - a quite mind/place/moment is priceless. 2) Treat yourself well - exhaustion and internalized anger do not contribute to innovative ideas. 3) Laugh. Funny thoughts lead to more creativity. Cheers, MW Dull.
