Creativity Ignite!

I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase about when creativity “strikes.” I’d like to think mine is the same as everyone else’s. But I’ve discovered that my creativity ignites.

Case in point, it is almost 2am as I’m writing this post. This is the hour of the creative and at times I’m no exception. But once my brain goes, it literally doesn’t stop. Oh sure I’ll get tired eventually but I’m talking about at all times. When I allow myself to be creative, the ideas won’t stop. I have notes and notes full of material for just about every medium known to mankind. And it is exhausting.

Don’t get me wrong. To have a flow of ideas that I can act on or pass to someone else is divine. But I value sleep. I value not being in my head all of the time. It’s a vacation spot not a permanent residence I must constantly remind myself.

So how does one cope with a faucet either set to deluge or a leaky trickle simply for keeping the pipes from freezing?
