Here is a great article from Psychology today on the living a life of creativity….and where creative insights come from. I especially love Ally Sheedy’s quote at the end, which I’ve pasted below. I am constantly having dejavu…how about you?

Ally Sheedy, actor
“For me, the creative moment almost always occurs during a dream state. I wake up certain that I have created something but I am unaware of what it is at the time. The creation becomes realized during a later conscious state in its entirety. But I recognize it as the memory of an earlier idea.”

Thanks Meg!
I usually compare my creative side to the small guy from the movie “elf”. He was brought into the publishers as the “idea” man. He literally pulled out a little black book with all kinds of ideas written into it. I have SO many ideas but no follow through. Well, no means of follow through because my ideas are too big sometimes. I have always wanted to start a notebook of my ideas so I can actually cross one off eventually.
