the act of 'taking the time' is contrary to creativity, in my mind.

uhmm....like..... "i'm going to be spontaneous now" It just doesn't work that way for me, at least. I am most creative in the morning. Unfortunately, my daily routine sees me rushing through my shower and dressing ritual, and then into the car for an hour and a half, where I listen to a book. While I do consider myself a creative person, my stupid life is constantly interposing itself between the me and the muse. If I was going to take the time...it would have to be a big chunk so I could clear my mind and let it come. Most of my truly creative bits have been me noticing something by chance and pulling it out into the open...

so.....i'll say....keep your eyes and ears open so that you are able to notice your own creativity.
