Why does your older than this one blog posts close so no comments can be added? What if someone just saw that post and wanted to comment? Also why did you delete the flow blog post? I wrote a whole lot and I thought it was good and now it’s all gone and it was all for nothing. I’ve just about had it with all this bull shit. I read the privacy policy making it like a company is using my information instead of just Jenn. It’s so obvious that all of this crap is forced interactions from a corporation… Read more »

One-pocket does it for me, at least now without any other stimulus present. Makes you think of creative solutions to positions that are not obvious. When doing artwork, I’m usually paralyzed by perfectionism, until that third cup of coffee, and then it’s on! I don’t have too much of a problem with using both hemispheres, and switching up, as I like to think of alternative solutions for any problem or process, and I’ve been doing it for so long that it’s natural. Still have issues with the focus though; But after some of my endless lists shorten a bit, it’ll… Read more »

Jennette, I absolutely LOVE this blog. Its very helpful in my life. I feel most creative when I’m alone in my room, doing whatnot, I could be reading, playing Crash Bandicoot or simply watching a movie, and I’d get and urge to stop doing it and lie on my bed with whatever thoughts I have. The wierd thing is, my thoughts always lead to other thoughts that ate completely unrelated. So, for example, I could be thinking about Between, which would somehow lead to me thinking about pizza. I find this exercise very fun and helpful. Hope this didn’t waste… Read more »

Talking to you.

Some things you did, said, and written, were really important to me.
Thank you.

Best wishes.
Farewell (out of business).

I call it creative is when the mind is inspired by some object, facts, photos, etc. I generally consider myself a creative person (clear when I am inspired) and I believe what this my mind I am sure in what I do although sometimes I grab that insecurity of what I do not be creative or different but that makes you happy in what you do and it is so true that the human does not have the creative we would all be the same and would be boring The creativity we invent in the mind can go far beyond… Read more »

Hi, Jennette! ty for the blog love it!, by the way, I’m loving the going mental blogs you’re a great writer I thought of 2 things that I would love you to do: 1- write and publish a book pretty obvious since you love writing and again you’re a really great writer! 2- go on a world tour maybe for the book or for exploring and I honestly want to meet you so bad if you come to the UAE or DUBAI since I live there *winks* I just want you to come so I can meet you sounds creepy… Read more »

This is speaking volumes! I fancy myself very analytical, sometimes to a fault, and often go about my day in a very structured way. This in itself is not an issue, as we are creatures of habit after all. What gets me into trouble sometimes is that leisure time in between phases of the day. I’ll start thinking “Isn’t there something I should be doing or somewhere I should be right now?” Instead, perhaps it would be better to just embrace the moment and find a way to let creativity flourish. Too often I equivocate creativity with something in the… Read more »

Develop the ability to observe For me so it helps me to be creative, then as one is more relaxed and is more propitious, write or paint.for last I think I must relate creativity with what is very inside of us and that comes when we usually do what in Truth we like.and not do them simply by commitment or because it is the general rule.

Well I think it normally earns the right brain but a bit of walking and fresh air in a pleasant environment I think it helps our creative side to come out, at least to me it works.

I have just got back into painting and writing. It feels so exciting to be able to let my creativity be more free. I think it’s a great idea to give ourselves time to just be so our creativity doesn’t get cramped. I think we let insecurity discourage our attempts at creativity too much though. I can’t wait to read more posts.

My brain floats around like a baloon on a string but I don’t do anything creative. I loved to write and draw but that was years back. Now, nothing. Which is kind of surprising to me because Bipolar people are normally very creative.

Alone, after dark. A constant stream of thought and focus without awareness of time and space. Stories. I make up stories for myself. Occasionally, I consider how to address current political events because I look back on the last couple decades and think that if I had arrayed all the options on a table my cat could have chosen better by random chance.

jennette i want to thank you for the comment on my comment i hope that u find it interesting what i like to do with my creativity at my work i draw alot drawings i will take a picture of my drawing that i made from you its one from a photo that used from one of ur photo shoot from a couple years ago i think if u see the drawing then u might know wich photo shoot im talking about by the way i work at a day care center for people with special need and care as… Read more »

Gutted that I missed the replies but ill still type my essay up (jk). So I fully agree creativity is a massive thing of our life as human beings, if we didn’t have any, this world would be a dull place. As you get older you have to fight for your creativity a lot more, which I think is rather unfair, but I do think drawing, writing (in your case a good idea) and in some way Textiles and Technology (Wood work). (lol I’m still crying about the beginning) But in a way, I feel it is also somewhat our… Read more »

Sorry Michelle, today I don’t feel creative to write :v

I dont think left brain blocks the road to the creativity. In fact, at science and engineering, left side should take the lead. I suppose you mean artistic creativity when you write this post so its normal to assume that right brain should be more dominant at creativity but I dont agree with this. Two hemispheres might take different roles but they have strong connections in between. A creative process should be outcome of both sides working cooperatively. I think you should focus on working with both sides at creative process, not blocking one and freeing other one. That feels… Read more »

How do I say this…I’m suck at creativity. I always trying to be picture perfect. No mistakes, no side roads. Just the straight and narrow path. I have a tiny amount of creativity when I play games that require making things, like minecraft. I’ve found redstone very entertaining and I think it’s improved the creative side of my brain. When I draw, though, I’m usually drawing from what’s in front of me, and every line for me *must be perfect*. It’s sort of like life, you’re on a path. Sometimes you go off on side roads. I tend to have… Read more »

Creativity defiantly helps fuel happiness. It just excites and challenges the brain. I can definitely relate to the left brained fighting the right brain. There was a time where I was pretty mush so all left brained. Through the end of college and part of college, I closed the indifference by a lot. This might be because of the work that I do. Computer programming is a very logical, but very creative outlet. It blends both pretty well, as you have to be able to be as creative as the end user in order to catch all the things they… Read more »

We all have some creativity in us. Unfortunately, most people have to deal with everyday stuff and have very little ( or no time), or lack the resources. Just like you, I find that taking a walk allows me come up with ideas. I also come up with ideas while driving. These days, most of my creative energy goes to my Christmas Village. Besides the actual Village, I’ve made a few videos, some comedic, and gotten lots of compliments. Maybe ya seen them on YouTube ( Ugly Blue Chair Productions). When people see them and get a kick out of… Read more »
