How do you create?

How do you create, what do you create, and what inspiers you to do it? For me, I create by drawing and writing, maybe singing later on too. What do I create, thats easy, I create everything and nothing, just thought put onto paper or whatever canvass I use, last, anything inspires me, mostly feelings and nature though. What about you?

To tweak an oft used motivational phrase, there is no 'I' create (but there is in creation).

I write poetry and short stories. What tends to inspire me are the little things in life. I think that the telling someone something isn't always the right way to go about something and sometimes it is really hard to talk about certain topics, but writing is the one way I know how to express my feelings in full. Life would be unbearable if there was no way to express the way I feel/felt. Writing also allows me to inspire friends, family, and even complete strangers. There is always a time where all the pain inside you rises up and either explodes out of you or drops back and is hidden again. I feel like at that moment, I write my best work because all my emotions are right out in the open and somehow I am able to access them more freely. It is kind of hard for some people to understand, but that's the only way I know how to explain it. Sometimes words just fail and you have to put pen to paper to express how you are actually feeling and sometimes even that is adequate. I also don't think that it is "I" who creates. I think that God uses me to talk to people that need guidance. I know some people here are not religious and don't think God exists, but I can't ignore the fact that I didn't know to write the way I write now until this past February. It was something that just appeared out of nowhere. It's hard to explain, but one day I was sitting in class and then I had this feeling of inadequateness, like I wasn't good enough for anyone. That's when I wrote my first real poem. I believe that God sent his spirit into me that day and now he is using me to get his point across. I am not always the best person, but I try my hardest to be the person I know I can be. Creating isn't a one person thing, it is something beyond this world and I think it manifests itself different in each one of us.

I'm in a band. So I usually create in a group setting. Most of the time, our creations thrive from our different influences, and end up much better than any one of us alone could have made it. I wonder, if other forms of art were taken on by groups of people, rather than an individual, how would it change the final outcome. would it be better?would it be worse?

I create poetry, collages, music, sometimes building or welding or fixing something broken...I'm usually inspired by a feeling...pain, joy, etc. or i'm inspired by work I've seen others do that gets my creative juices flowing.

I dont think it is "I" alone who does the creation.I think all that can be created exists somewhere in universe in some other dimensions. what yo do when you create is just to pick it up from where it already is. Please pay attention to Mozart's this quote: "My subject enlarges itself, becomes methodized and defined, and the whole, though it be long, stands almost complete and finished in my mind, so that I can survey it, like a fine picture or a beautiful statue, at a glance. Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, but I hear them, as it were, all at once. What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream" There was once a "so called" art piece I created which attracted around 800 appreciation votes around the globe. During the creation of that piece, I also felt that. I felt that I was just a channel and that thing came to me as a "whole". I didnt plan the parts nor did I have a structured view on it as it was built. But it was an ecstatic state of some sort. I wish I could be in that state of mind again. it was absolutely like a dream. Anyway, thats why also I believe art pieces can not be owned or possessed by their "makers". Then I have come across mozart's quote. I think all art is already created somewhere and they are just waiting for their right channels to come into existence in this dimension.
