I love how you mention walking down new streets is like making new pathways in your brain. For me, creativity is like a muscle that you have to exercise in order to get stronger! I feel that devoting time to it every day is strengthening my ability to be creative. Also, Bradbury's quote rings true for me, although it is easier said than done! And it seems like that's what you try to do with your own creative sparks. Maybe the spark is more of a feeling and then the later editing and revising is more thinking? Great post! Thank you.

Hm great point about creativity is like a muscle. I think that's true because creativity and inspiration may be two different things. If you sit down to work on your craft every day, you practice being creative and hopefully your work will improve over time, but if you wait to be inspired and then start working, you might not have practiced enough to really get anywhere.
