I am currently working on a project (for someone else) that is consuming all of my time. Of course, this is when my creativity decides to stop by for a visit. And, of course, this is when I have no time to do anything about it.
But isn't that always the case? You have nothing do and your work is languishing somewhere on your desk. In some cases, you may not even know where it is or where you saved it on your computer. Then, all of sudden, there's a flurry of activity and inspiration hits.
Perhaps this is one key to creativity....just writing, no matter what it is. It could be writing a grocery list, a Christmas card or a brochure for a home builder.
I just hope that when this project is done, creativity decides to stick around for awhile longer.

To me, the real benefit to nanowrimo is that it forces you to write every day, which in turn teaches you to keep thar creative spark well-tended at all times, occasionally fanning it into a real bonfire.

Hello Tamara, Pleased to see you're back hard at work. Looking forward to you starting to post more often.
We'd like to do a "blogger profile" for you. What would you think of us collecting some of your posts related to writing to put together a column? Then, when you're ready, you can start submitting articles.
Also, we're conducting a Link Exchangathon. You're currently listed under "links". If you post one of our buttons, we'll move you up to a featured spot. We're also setting up a blog and a website for this. Hoping we can continue working together.
Look forward to hear from you, Roy
I completely agree that the key to creativity is writing no matter what, even if you are busy. Even if it is just a thought scribbled at the end of your notebook during class or sending someone a text message or like you said, making lists (especially wish lists).
