<One last point... when you do have an idea, make sure to write it down, before you forget it. It may be that you have more good ideas than you realize, but just aren't capturing them.> This is really good advice. I was going to make a comment that creativity and ideas are essentially a subconscious process like a dream. Your mind is making connections all the time and if you pay attention sometimes you can snatch them before they sink back down out of awareness. I make a point to write down my dreams every morning because it is important keep the channel open as a habit. Notice how elusive capturing dreams are; you might wake up to a vivid dream but if you don't write the content down right away by the time you are drinking your coffee all you have is the memory of a vivid dream but no recollection of the details. I think creative ideas are similar.
