W.F.T.M. Post 9

Be creative! So we talked about creativity in the last class. I also came to a personal realization that most of my work exists in the initial stage of creativity which unfortunately happens to be the most derivative. Now I know how to shape those ideas and cultivate valuable and unique works. So after you get your initial idea, mess around with it, reverse it, play with it. Next you let it stew. Put it away for a bit and come back to it later with fresh eyes. Then when you have your Eureka moment bring the idea back and do it. This may be why I have so much faith in my senior thesis. I've spent the time to step away from it and spend more time on it rather than just pursuing the initial, derivative idea.
