If you want to be creative, be creative. You can be creative in your head, washing dishes, walking down the street *, talking, writing, singing, thinking.
You don’t have to do it constantly, you should just do it consistently, even is just occasionally.
And if you don’t get a kick out of it, that’s your solution. Okay. Myself, it charges me up.
Now if you want to share that creativity beyond your typical environment, build it up as a habit, then take that creativity and use it to come up with the next step.
How should I know what the next step is? I’m just blogging. Hey…
THAT’s a step. Putting it down somewhere shareable, or reproduceable, or as a shape that can be molded, or a sketch that can serve as a blueprint…. Taking it out of your head in a way that you can hand it to someone else and say look, or don’t look. Laugh. Feel. Growl.
Anyway, it’s just an idea I had.

P.S. Sometimes creativity is stupid. So what. Sometimes it seems to require bravery, or maybe just foolishness. SO WHAT? Keep the gears turning. They can raise the corners of your mouth into a smile, or a smirk. Keep it moving.
