Creativity is not a predetermined way of looking at the world -- you can get inspired by almost anything, anywhere, anytime. All you have to do is be receptive to inspiration.
The following are some tips on how to be a creative peson :
1. Be passionate. Creativity is passionate. Passion is always creative.
2. Change your Internet activity. Adults spend an average of 29 hours, 15 minutes browsing the Internet each month. Are you using the same web browsers, going to the same shopping or news sites? Try new sites that aren't typically on your radar. You may get new ideas that unlock your creativity.
3. Nothing kills creativity faster than criticism. Don't share your work-in-progress with people who are critical or those whose opinions leave you vulnerable, no matter how much you love them. Good critiquing should leave you inspired, not deflated.
4. Get unstuck. Do something simple like taking a walk around the block at a different time of day. You may meet someone new or see nature differently when you change your routine. New things inspire new ideas. And that's an inspiration worth taking a walk for any day.
So, Learn your craft and write, write, write! The more you write, the better you will get. And remember to discipline yourself.
