As a creative, I often feel hampered by the buzz of phone calls, emails, and "emergencies" that seems to start at 9:00 am and run straight through to 5:00 pm. All too often I find that the creative / inspired part of my brain isn't really freed up until the evening, when I'm (literally) washing off the cares of the day in the shower or relaxing in bed with a cup of tea. That's when ideas for stories, headlines, and content for pieces I'm working on all seem to come flowing into my head. With all this in mind, I welcome any ideas on triggering my creativity and helping to make it a more natural and spontaneous part of my daily work. Thanks, D! Thanks for sharing these ideas, David.
