Creativity limits

One of the traits I am personally proud to have is that I don’t really have limits to my creativity. There are techniques I like and use often but sometimes I “play” with different processes.

I guess my process is less reality-based and more imaginative-based. For me sometimes reality sucks. Reality is something that I want to escape from. I would like only to watch documentary movies and television or only read historical factual books. Yes, sometimes it is wonderful to see a documentary or show based on real events. Yes, sometimes it is wonderful to read a book on facts and history.

A few years ago I became interested in philosophy. I hated philosophy in college but I love a philosophical conversation not. I periodically read books such as The Republic. I like things that make me think more deeply. I like things that are ambiguous. I like things that are conceptual or with a subliminal message. At the same time, I often look for beauty in nature and reality.

All this leads to my biggest problem which is staying focused on a project. I am beginning to get a grasp on how to channel my thoughts and creative ideas but it is very much a work in progress.
