Remember: The gods of creativity are not obliged to explain anything to us.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Creativity, like faith or courage, simply is — which suggests taking a naturalist’s approach. Observe without expectation. Avoid sudden moves. Collect data until you have enough to form a theory, then test the theory.
Practice: Do something you hypothesize will lead to creativity. Notice the results. Do something arguably the opposite. Notice the results.
