Daily Challenge: Day 1

So, I'm going to try out a little game or challenge for us all. Everyday I will ask a question... some will be fun and others may be hard. Some may be silly and other educational. I will try hard not to repeat them but if you catch a repeat let me know.... or just let it go. My answer will always be after the question because it wouldn't be fair I didn't answer too.
Rules are simple:
1. Answer the question that is asked in any way you want...
2.Read other people's answers.
3.Comment on what catches your interest.
4. Smile, Laugh, Share, Learn....
Today's Question: Where do you find your creativity?
My Answer: Life is often a place where I find inspiration for all areas of my life: writing, my art, even in how to live (or how NOT to live in some cases)
Hardships often find their answers in something I write. My feelings find their way into my art. Watching others teaches me about.

I don't know if I even found it yet. I will have to get back to you on this.

Hands you a quarter to cover the charges. I'm not much of a thinker, so it might be a while. Hands you a dollar instead.

@TexanTornado Adds * .88 to the fund. * I'll wait. I have no where to be and nothing to do. I'd loan you my muse but she ran away years ago.

I used to write a lot of poetry and it was during my high school days, so much of it reflected during those times.
For my stories, I get inspiration from different books or movies that really moved me. Love and relationships interest me, so I like to write about that.

I find my creativity in life. Sometimes its health, sometimes its TV, sometimes its my family, and sometimes its just being in my head too much. I write what comes to me through these areas. I used to journal and found it very good and helped me remember what happened and when. But, thought it was good for me the computer took its place.

@TLChimes -- I tend to get too wrapped up in life to remember to journal.

Where do I find my creativity? I think I know this one . Right inside my brain. There is a small part there that just keeps churning, and churning and before I know it there will be a design for me to work on.

I guess most of it is learned. There wasn't much encouragement to be creative in my family when I was growing up.
A few examples of my creativity, though: I made a vest from a button front skirt and used another skirt for fringe on the back of the vest; I designed some wash cloths based on quilt square patterns, I made a winter coat from blue jeans.

I have no creativity, except for puns, and they are not always appreciated
. I do my best to include a spoonerism difficult to detect in any scientific article I write : they will perhaps become an interesting research subject for a student in the future

I love puns too. In fact I have a Facebook friend who posts "the pun of the day" I love reading them, but due to my schedule, I haven't seen any for a while.

I get mine from personal experiences, observations and during my silent moments when I only look up on the ceiling or at my laptop/ tablet screen or on cold walls thinking and trying to figure out something from other peoples perspective

@TLChimes Observing people broadens our concept in life ( I really think so)

It's in the thing I like to call a brain. Sometimes I sit and think and it sounds good so I will write it or make it or talk to people about it.
That is why sometimes I got nothin'.
My brain is so full that sometimes nothing good and creative can come out of there and I just don't care either.

@TLChimes Sometimes I hear something that makes me think. I never have anything to write with at the time so I forget a lot. That is the reason I haven't started many discussions. When I think of a good one, I am in bed or unable to get on the computer to post it.

@fufurinha I bet you have something that you do that you don't even realize is creative. I like to color in an adult coloring book that I got a few months ago. I was waiting at an appointment for my son and someone remarked that I used the colors in a creative way. I was surprised because I was just doing it in a way I liked. Maybe you do something just your way but other people think it is creative.

But I guess I can not consider myself a creative person.

Creativity is actually something I've been battling with for a while now. I carry a camera everywhere I go, but I haven't been too happy with most of the photos I've been taking lately, and the writing I've been doing hasn't been particularly creative either.

@TLChimes I'd rather not do that. I'd feel lost without my camera. As for writing, I'm hoping that by pushing myself to come up with at least one new idea for a MyLot discussion every day, I'll finally start coming up with bigger ideas again. If I miss one day it's like giving myself permission to miss more.

@Analyst001 I already know a lot of the tricks. I'm just not inspired at the moment.

Honestly, I feel like I used to be very creative. Now it seems for the past few years I've sort of had "creativity block." Wish I could find it and give a good answer to this question :-/

@TLChimes I think it was just the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I'd like to make a living using my creativity, but just can't find it! Lol
Feelings often help people be creative.

I don't really know how to answer this. I would like go say I find it in cooking. But I haven't really branched out that much from recipes I find on food blogs. I feel I don't know enough sometimes to make my own recipes.
I used to write but I don't really anymore. So I can't really say that.
So I guess my answer is that I don't know.

I draw on experience and play with words. It isn't a case of having one idea but putting ideas together like bricks to build a house of ideas

Where do I find my creativity? Don't know. I just randomly select topics for discussion
