The Nature of Creativity

I was walking down the street minding my own business when BAM! All of a sudden this idea hit me. And you know how some ideas are like moray eels, they bite you and hold on for that pound of flesh? Well, this wasn’t that kind. I forgot it right away. So I was thinking, how do you entice a moray eel from its lair? Act edible. I wanted to remember that idea, it wasn’t the colorless green kind, but what do ideas hunger for? Immortality? The 1920’s? Boysenberry cheesecake?

I never did recall that idea, but I did think up some others that were just as good.

“Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.” — Noam Chomsky
