How do you come up with creative ideas?

How do you do your best thinking?

Everyone has their own personal way of coming up with good creative ideas. I find that sitting in a comfortable chair with my eyes closed and just letting my mind wander works. if I'm not so tired I'll fall asleep, it usually brings up enough creative juice to let my brain figure out the answer to whatever problem I'm thinking about, or some interesting idea to think about.

What's your secret? Do you have a routine, or a place that helps you think?

I am most apt to get my ideas for debate from the news of the day. I must say there are times an issue really bugs me because I understand both sides of the problem. When that happens I'll think about it overnight and I usually know which side of a debate to take. It's kind of fun because all the things I'd thought of and more come from the people who counter with their thoughts and information. I always get food for thought from the other side and that's a good thing.

Brainstorming is a great way to get information and ideas. It's kind of like putting your finger on the pulse of things and coming out the other side with clarity and a great debate or conversation topic.

Side: Think feel read and go for it

Sometimes I have a few beers and I'm like, "Dog spelled backwards is God!" and I put it as a debate. Then in the morning I wake up and I'm like, "WTF?" and delete it.

Sometimes I think something is funny and I put it as a debate or in a debate and other people are like, "WTF?" and they vote me down.

Sometimes I find something on the internet or the news that pisses me off and I put it as a debate. Then I have a few beers and I'm like, "WTF?" and delete it.

But some of my stuff makes it to CD and if you're like, "WTF?", just imagine what I've deleted ;)

Side: I use the WTF method

Creative ideas are DIFFICULT to explain.

I usually just idealize whatever I'm working with and try to think about what is most natural, what makes most sense... Perhaps it is only too quick of a simple operation, that I don't really notice it... but if you explode my thoughts before I have some sort of creative revelation, my brain is hard at work analyzing the problem, and this alone my be creativity. Transferring a real problem into something that my brain can grasp and open up and toy with, may be in it's self, creative.

So basically I just turn reality into an abstract thought and then use it's own purpose as another abstract, idealistic, sort of reflection. Then it's all about creating a symmetrical image. You just change the thing in reality to be as it is if it were perfect for it's own purpose. Now, also, before you think that this is implosive, when I say idealistic, this isn't dreamy. It's not real, but it's held to every limitation that there is in reality... because this is part of it's purpose too.

Then there are times where you've fought with an idea for so long that there's almost nothing more to do with it accept identify problems and see if any of them correspond with one another...

Eh, I am so boring.
