Thoughts on Creativity

I'm looking at my master list of twenty four projects and thinking that I may not make all 24 happen this year (those that don't get done will continue into next year) but I am caught by the realisation that of those on the list I have done about 15 of them as intended, and three more of them are 'technical wins' in that they technically meet the qualifications even if they don't exactly match the spirit in which I intended them.

Eighteen personal challenges during the year is nothing to sneer at and that's not even counting the other side projects I worked on and succeeded with. This coming years goals will be just as colorful and maybe even more so. I've decided that this past year was the learning and foundation year for me. I set 24 goals and wanted to do them all. But I was doing it in a vacume.

Now I know what I have done in the past and it will help me guage and tackle a new list for this year. So This coming year I will make another long list of projects, and instead of commiting to a certain set of them, I will say that of this list I will complete at least 18 goals.

I really think I have a chance at doing some more amazing things in the coming year. I'm finding that where I should be feeling like I'm a bit used up and slowly recovering from my Nano experiance, I am infact coming up with lot's of new ideas and projects and my intrest and excitement just keeps building.

I'm wondering if I've stepped up onto a whole new level of personal creativity for me. It was a little alarming to realise that I had actually forgotten some of my new ideas in the last week because I hadn't stopped to write them down in my notebook when I had them. I think my workbooks are going to be filled at an ever increasing rate from here on out.

I'll post again tomorrow and Wedns. and tr to get a post up of what the holiday season posting will be like. Work will be out and the computer labs will be closed but I will also be visiting family and possably going down to connecticut for a day.

We shall see.
Take care of yourselves.
