There's some time i havent uploaded anything, except things i've made for school... so i was wondering about "how to be creative" and i found this tips that can be useful for you too.

:bulletblue:1-Ignore everybody
The more original your idea is, the less good advice other people will be able to give you.
:bulletblue:2-The idea doesnt have to be big, it just have to change the world.
The two are not the same thing.
:bulletblue:3-Put the hours in.
Doing anything worthwhile takes forever. 90% of what separates successful people and failed people is time, effort and stamina.
:bulletblue:4-You are responsible for your own experience.
Nobody can tell you if what you're doing is good, meaningful or worthwhile. The more compelling the path, the more lonely it is.
:bulletblue:5-Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.
Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with books on algebra etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the creative bug is just a wee voice telling you, "I'd like my crayons back, please."
:bulletblue:6-Don't try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether.
Your plan for getting your work out there has to be as original as the actual work, perhaps even more so. The work has to create a totally new market. There's no point trying to do the same thing as 250,000 other young hopefuls, waiting for a miracle. All existing business models are wrong. Find a new one.
:bulletblue:7-Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.
You may never reach the summit; for that you will be forgiven. But if you don't make at least one serious attempt to get above the snow-line, years later you will find yourself lying on your deathbed, and all you will feel is emptiness.
:bulletblue:8-Merit can be bought. Passion can't.
The only people who can change the world are people who want to. And not everybody does.
:bulletblue:9-Don't worry about finding inspiration. It comes eventually.
Inspiration precedes the desire to create, not the other way around.
:bulletblue:10-You have to find your own schtick.
A Picasso always looks like Piccasso painted it. Hemingway always sounds like Hemingway. A Beethoven Symphony always sounds like a Beethoven's Syynphony. Part of being a master is learning how to sing in nobody else's voice but your own.
