		<description>Hey Kaushik,

Thanks again for commenting Kaushik, I appreciate it. Tapping into those around us, their minds, and even the books or images around us can spark all kinds of ideas, etc. There really is not shortage of abundance if we absorb it.  Thanks for pointing that out. :)

Thanks again,
Dayne</description>

		<description>Hey there Diggy, I know what you mean about changing paths or direction with a blog. Although this blog is a bit new, I&#039;m starting to find my voice and focus I think with it. I&#039;m not there 100%, but it is getting there so I can relate to you. 

I&#039;m glad you like the list too, they are a lot of fun to create!

Cheers,
Dayne</description>

		<description>Hey there alternaview, good to to hear from you as always. You make a good point on the &quot;belief&quot; aspect of creativity. There is no doubt everyone has creativity in them, in one way, shape or another...it&#039;s just finding it, and tapping into it fully. 

Thanks again for your comments!

		<description>Dayne, great tips.

I have written several books and now it&#039;s time to start talking to publishers--something I don&#039;t really want to do. In the process, I realized there is one resource we all have in abundance and don&#039;t use often enough: the people we know. Simply asking others for help and advice opens up the c faucet!

		<description>Heya Dayne!

Awesome list you created :)
I initially had a big crisis when starting my blog in the sense that I knew I wanted to start it but I had no idea what I wanted to write about, so for quite a few months my posts were random writings, and my design was sloppy.

Only about 3 months ago did I get my direction and do it properly.
&quot;2. Change your approach. &quot;

I think this is what came in handy:)
I love these &#039;list&#039; posts, because I print them out and have a flip file where I keep them for reference when I get stuck with a project or idea.

Have an awesome day!

		<description>I think your list of exercises is great and provides some real solid direction.  What you pointed about the fact that we all possess the ability to be creative was very poignant for me because it is so easy to put yourself into a box and feel that creativity is not something you do well.  Even if we say we can be intensely creative, the question is whether or not we truly believe it.  I know that has been my issue from time to time.  Thanks, (yet once again), for the great reminder of a very important point...creativity is in all of us, we just have to tap into it.

		<description>I love that Robin...Creative Mashing. :) Very good ideas you have there, and I love the fact you run and carry a notepad. Movement does get things stirring in the mind for sure. I get ideas as well when I do my jogs during the week. 

I will look forward to reading your post about this!

Cheers and thanks again,
