My teenage son was so impressed with it that he told everyone we had dinner with tonight. <br /><br />You are exactly right about creativity being a way of living. When I mindfully arrange our lives to allow creativity in, instead of just demanding it of myself, everything goes more smoothly.

Sure, some people may be more creative than others, but you learn that. It's a way of living so to speak.<br /><br />And on living abroad...<br /><br />I've lived in Germany before I moved back to Bosnia and I spent a fair amount of time in Paris, Vienna and Amsterdam. It does help to travel a lot, but is by no means a must.Stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705496652945481096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-68759070249680408302012-06-22T23:06:18.902-07:002012-06-22T23:06:18.902-07:00Great suggestions.

I've solved so many plot issues while running, that going on a run is an essential part of my creative process.<br /><br />For topics on blog posts, I suggest checking out Hatrack.

Every day that I'm at work, I go on an exercise-type of walk up and down the big hills around my office. I used to walk with a group, but then the group wanted to move away from my favorite walking route because it was too boring. But that's the point, I told them. That way I can walk and focus on thoughts and not worry about taking a wrong turn. They ended up going the other route, but that's fine, because I think better when people aren't talking to me.<br /><br />(I must come off as such a cranky person: "DON'T TALK TO ME, I'm creating!") :)Sabrina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218305456791199409noreply@blogger.com
