How do i get more creative
| smoke the ganja
| You have to break out of your rigid thinking. How you do that is for you to find out on your own, everyone lives with a different mindset afterall.

Any ideas? I went on a trip across the country, visited various new places and lived with complete strangers for a week, and it still didn't help.
| Reading books might be a good start, fiction and otherwise. The occasional stroll could also get the juices flowing. The only thing left is to start creating. Pick a direction and go.
| Don't get too bogged down in one discipline. Creativity takes a hit when your doing the same shit all the time.
Pick up something completely different and see how that changes your view on writing.
| You pick a random phrase, shape or whatever (mostly depending on your art type). Then you start creating around it, you may take some breaks, but sometimes will have to force yourself to continue.
With enough practice you could create better things, and faster.
| Just breathe with your right nostril more than your left one.
| Maybe try psychedelics. I heard of a study where people tried shrooms, and one year later they were found to be higher in openness, the personality trait that determines creativity.

| Get out of your comfort zone. Maybe something as simple as taking a different route to get to your job, school, home or whatever. Try putting your clothes in a different pattern than you are used to. Exercise, always a good tip.
The idea is to kick out monotony out of your brain. Trust me, it works.
| Just sit down and write. Set a goal of, say, 1 well thought out, well edited page a day and follow it daily. It doesn't matter about what as long as you're writing. As you get beeter, you can increase the amount to 2, 3 and so on. S. King said in an interview that he aims for 6/day.
| Get inspiration from an artist you like or from a book/movie you read/watch
But don't just copy them
| Stop being uncreative
| I realized the only way I got creative was when I got bored.
I've heard some scientific paper about it some time ago that said the same thing, basically creativity is your brain's response to boredom to alleviate it when nothing else will.
