Creative Thought Space |
What do you think being creative means?
To me, being creative means tapping into a part of yourself that looks beyond what’s normal, expected, etc. being able to open yourself up to new possibilities and ways of doing things.
How do you include creativity in your life?
Creativity is in virtually every part of my life. From the music and sounds I create for games, TV, etc, to the way I interact and play with my children. From the stories I write to the way I communicate with other people. It’s really everywhere for me.
What thoughts do you have as to how your life has influenced your creative imagination, and how your creative imagination has influenced your life?
Great question! I pull a lot of inspiration from my personal experiences, especially when it comes to writing my instrumental piano music. I (like most composers) am a very emotional person. Those emotions tend to live right under or on the surface most of the time.
What, if any, exercises do you do to get into a creative mode?
If anything, I try to quiet and clear my mind (as much as possible). Not always an easy thing to do lol! I also seem to be very in tune with sound. I constantly find myself hearing and listening for sounds and music. To the point of probably annoying people I’m with sometimes! :)
How important do you think creativity is in life?
Creativity is vital. It’s like oxygen to me. Truly, I don’t really see a point to life without it.
