After visiting your blog I figured this might be an article along the lines of what you write about. You're right about where you can learn from. To write this article, I created a flow chart (bubble chart) with "Training Your Mind To Think In Creative Ways" at the center and then branching out from there. I called upon things I remembered from college, a few things a real estate mentor taught me, some creative and lateral thinking books I've read, etc. all of which allowed me to make several connections to write this article. I like the way you break down the steps in the process. I'll remember them. Hello Marelisa,

The first step is to identify yourself as a creative person (everyone is creative) and knowing that there are many ideas out there. You then have to gather all of the knowledge you can on your subject matter (reading books, visiting blogs, and the other things you mention). You then digest the material by applying creativity techniques (which you can learn through books, workshops, and so on). These creative techniques are expansive (such as the brainstorming session you mention), and constraining (like setting a time limit). The next step is to do something else (relax, take a nap, work on a different project, let the ideas simmer). And the last step is to turn your idea into something tangible you can show the world. <em>Marelisa's last blog post..<a href='http://abundance-blog.marelisa-online.com/?p=151' rel="nofollow">Get Out the Balloons - Choice for New Blog of the Week</a></em> Hi John: I think this is an excellent article on creativity.

I spent a few days developing this article. I started by creating a chart with "Being Creative" in the middle and then branching out ideas from there. I'm glad you liked it. By the way, how's Brazil? I've never been there and would love to go sometime. Thanks Romulo.
