Creativity

I realized last night creativity needs space. It never fails when I have a project to do I think about it all day with very few inspiring, light bulb moments. But when I go to bed, WHAM I have these fabulous, funny, uplifting ideas. It happened again last night. I have some articles I need to write and was stuck with what to write about. I go to bed, lay my head down... and off goes my creative little mind with ideas, witty, pithy content. So I got out of bed and jotted down an outline to help jog my memory this morning and then off to dream land I went. However it got me to wonder WHY does this happen. I realized, finally, creativity needs space. Throughout the day I have little space in my head due to all the other things I'm doing, housework, watching Ella, poopy diapers, making meals, checking e-mail...creativity needs space. when I go to bed I have come to a stopping point with all that other stuff. My lesson in all this, well it's two things, keep a notebook close by my bed, and create some space for my starved creative side! Where's your creativity hiding at?
