Thinking Creatively
Where do you think most creatively? 20% of Americans say they have their moments of inspiration in the car, followed by while at the office/school, then in bed, outdoors, and the list goes on.
I'll admit it. I'm one of those car thinkers. On long drives (up to Dallas, or to OKC, or even to STL) my mind wanders all over the place. I have completed several novels. I have solved many of the world's political and socio-economic crises. I have designed dream homes (meticulously decorated, of course). My concepts for flower gardens are award-worthy.Unfortunately, I had no way to write any of it down, so the brilliance that was my masterpieces are scattered among the road grunge that litters I-35 and I-44.
But... if my mind is wandering, thinking creatively as I cruise on down the road, is everyone else doing the same thing? That's... scary.
