Creativity: A New View

Tapping your creativity is like staring at the stars: It's by looking indirectly that you see most clearly what you're looking for. So often I start a project by listing all the free associations my wee brain can produce about the subject. Then I'll research it. Next, however, I look a bit "to the side" of the topic, allowing even the threadiest of linked thoughts to come into focus. It's like overlaying other images on the main image to see what new picture develops. Seems like there's always something wonderful to see when you telescope your creativity all the way out!
