My experience is that I am often creative but I am inconsistent in my follow through. When I get an odd idea, at my best I just try it. That makes me more likely to have another odd idea, and if I try that the cycle accelerates. If instead I listen to The Editor and get back to the humdrum, the cycle runs in reverse: fewer ideas, less follow through, fewer ideas. So I think, paradoxically, that action is the key to creativity. It's not the ideas, it's what you do with them.
