Do you consider yourself a creative person?
I've studied some things such as De Bono's lateral thinking and find those type of techniques to be quite helpful.

    free your mind, have a walk and do not ever forget a notebook to write down your ideas. Brainstorming is a good idea too, ask the people and consider any answer

    I walk the dog or go rock hunting. Being out in nature and pumping the blood up kicks the brain into gear pretty well and being alone helps you just let your mind wander. Once you give your brain the cue that it should be working on something and let it wander, it will tell you when it figures something out.

    Or ya can smoke a fattie......but make sure to write stuff down fast because you're only gonna remember it for a few seconds.

    There are so many ways to come up with ideas....

    I can be watching TV or a movie, listening to the radio, reading a book, reading or watching the news, driving down the road, walking in the grocery store, surfing online....

    Something you see or hear catches your attention and your mind swirls with ideas of what to do with what you just saw or heard. Your various experiences with life can be a goldmine or ideas.

    So many ways to be creative and full of ideas...
    Just get a Pen, write whatever you think is new and related to anything in life..
    Main criteria is to keep your mind healthy and active...eat well and healthy food..
    This gives you activeness and lets you do the thinking...
    Try making genius friends, watch smart shows, talk about some intellectual stuffs around, ask yourself how they thought about that and this and what can "I" do to change it and make it another brand new invention....
    I hope you succeed

      I was much more creative back in the day when I smoked pot. Nowadays, most good ideas are just a matter of combination, but they are few and far between when you get into the rat race.

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.

    Creativity and such gifts are given by our creator, same to all good ideas that come into our minds .
    And they are well used and developed what comes out of it is always awesome.

    I guess all I am is a creative person. It is about all I can do. Raw uncultured creativity. That of barbarians, not gentlemen.
