    Those tips are as precious for creativity as life instead of death. I think this is the toughest thing to do on this planet(i.e to be creative) and this is not business of everyone.

    Great list. One of the things I find most useful is to page through creative images and pages of inspiring books and regularly visit creatively-inspired websites - and then switch off. When I'm least expecting it, new ideas surface. It's amazing what fresh air and letting your mind work through its own creative juices can result it!

    Rain makes me creative and lonliness. I must have my space and my time if i want to create someting.

    Feedback! The misconception is that creative people like writers, musicians, and artist are recluse geniuses who create masterpieces in solitude. Although isolation can help creativity, collaboration, input, and feedback are all great ways to increase your creativity.

    I find taking notes a wonderful way of collecting ideas for rainy days.

    Nice list!

    wow another glen guest post!!

    go team glen!!

    glen's a good friend of mine so awesome to see him getting up and owning the net :)

    i really like number 5 - i've always been big on finding mentors and people to look up to and emulate until you catch onto the mentality that works for them and make it your own - like with R in particular, learnt so much.

    ...and number 3 is Huuuuge aswell. you've seen my notebook - single line annecdotes in a word document almost 50 pages long - 50 pages of single line notes. keep them in my phone and dump them every week. so helpful especially in terms of building a site because content ideas don't hit you when you're sitting in front of a blank document, they hit you while you're out living - and cool annecdotes and things that have happened. so powerful.

    great stuff man. and really cool choice of topic

    Thanks for using my photo for illustrating your really useful article.

    PS: Next time, please send an email to the photographer, so much better than discovering it while doing a random trekking on blogs.
