Creativeness

[Bender]

... That is part of the reason i ask, i am involved with creativity more than most and i want to know what it is that makes me more creative than others. What is it that gives me that advantage over so many. What it is that makes me just come up with something out of thin air.

Hmm ... interesting. Is it really something that spawns creativity, could it not easily be a lack of something? Maybe to be truly creative is to have nothing which could easily hinder the stated process.

When I am having difficullty creating something I find myself being over-critical on what I am focusing on, and asking too many questions, where as other times it just flows.

In Stephen Kings book 'On Writing' he claims he has an imaginary Muse who sits on his sofa smoking cigars, while he is writing. I Guess that works for him.

thats a very good view point. Reps for that.
A lack of thought, critique and analysis may be what is creating.
Another question for you.
What is it that creates, when we're not thinking?

Maybe this is you, I'm different. I can create when I have something to say - critique and analysis of our lifes as well as feelings etc.......if I'm not creating - so to speak if I'm not creative, the thing I might lack of are questions.

What fuels us to be creative is our need for perfection, so we try to do or invent or create things to make as perfect, which at the same time we all know is impossible to achieve. so we keep creating and being creative and the circle begins all over again.
