It’s sad to admit but I have little imagination almost 100% of the time – not good news seeing as the one thing I enjoy the most is to create and design. In a world where the average concentration needed to watch tv is 10 seconds and where school stifles imagination and creativity in favour of high grades it is sad to remember back to when we where kids with the floor is lava game and building tents in the front room using two chairs and a duvet.
Imagination is however recoverable, all it takes is some inspiration and I can think up many weird and wonderful things. It’s just getting that inspiration that is the problem

I know what you mean, I find my self often wishing I had a good imagination… however, I do know people that get ideas like water from a tap, and they watch SO much TV!
Looking back at my old drawings has been depressing, some of them are quite good, considering I can’t draw for toffee atm. I need to get back into that…
“Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.”
Thomas Edison
as a ‘very-old-creative-person’ i have come to find this to be one of the truest quotes i have ever read… inspiration without application is almost worthless… there is a tendency to think that creative things just ‘happen’… when nearly all of my best work took hours of scribbling, screwing up and banging my head against a wall in desperation…
keep working, keep working, keep working… the inspiration will come…
