Where is all the Creativity?

This weekend I was continuing to read Twyla Tharp’s book “The Creative Habit,” when I found an exercise that I could really find useful in my life.  On page 205 and exercise twenty-eight, Twyla gives us an example on how we can continue to inspire ourselves to be creative every day.  I for example have had great ideas and worked long and hard over them to exhaustion, and when I try to continue the next day I find myself not interested anymore.  On the other hand I have done something where I was so interested I found myself doing it more than important things like homework.  But overall Twyla recommends that we stop before we get too carried away in one days’ worth of things.  In one of Twyla’s chapters she says that you must identify the concept that isn’t working so you can be creative.  It is really important for us to find this so we can let free and be who we really are.  I believe that we all change, and it is never for the better when it comes to creativity.  When we are young we want to make friends and be “cool.”  There is always that one kid who will make fun of you for doing something out of the norm, and forever they might be changed.  It’s bad because some of these people that might change could have possibly created something no one has ever seen, but because they were turned off of their true creativity at a young age nothing will be created at all.  Also there creativity may be gone forever.
