This is a website/blog to discipline yourself to be creative everyday...and post for your audience:

Thing-a-day.com

Article (which might be only accessible by a fee in a few days): http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080229.wlonething29/BNStory/PersonalTech/home

I haven't had a chance to look at website. But will in 12 hrs....after work lunch.

Personally I couldn't commit everyday to produce something creatively...

I could be creative everyday .... but producing creativity daily? Wow. That is a time commitment.

I believe I am creative each and every day. First by writing, then by editing someone elses writing and last but certainly not least, I crochet nightly. I am either crocheting something for someone who ordered it or just using up my bits and pieces of yarn for things for the yearly craft show...
I also believe the women posting here daily are being creative in a different yet very vital way.

I am definitely not creative every day. Unless you count playing games with the grandchild, thinking up things to do with my mother, and working on my website;...well then, I guess I am, but it’s not satisfying my creative desires.
Someday I’ll have time to write and paint to my hearts delight. Someday….sigh.

I think it would be hard to create something everyday. Sometimes, it's enough for me to even get my cup of coffee. I think a lot about creative things... but putting thoughts into play is a totally different thing. AND, if I had to create everyday, I might not get the same enjoyment from it.
Committing to doing so is an inviting concept to try, though .

The moment you use the word "commitment" with me, I run. I guess that's why I'm not married, but happily single. Being creative shouldn't have a regiment to it, me thinks. That's what so great about it. It comes from within, from your soul. Tagging it, giving it a schedule, or even journaling about it, would lose something for me.

I would rather just wake up every day and let it happen...

JJ I agree...I think if I had to force myself to be creative everyday I'd no longer enjoy it after awhile. I have to be in the mood to sew or crochet or quilt or paint...it's when the right moment hits me that I do better in what I wish to do at the time...some things just cannot be forced and be enjoyable, too. I love my crafts but if I knew I had to do them every single day no matter what they would become a burden.

What is art ? What is being creative ?
The finished product is not the be all and end all.
A salad can be creative and flowers arranged surely is.My fruit bowl i8s chosen for its colour and I see a still life when I place bowls on my worktop.
Dressmaking knitting quilt making..Womens art in bygone days was practical.The heel of a sock..turned for for comfort is a thing of beauty.
I do remember during pregnancies knitting mitts and bootees and sat each afternoon doing this.Also planning craft work after hysterectomy and having things on hand..
Julie cameron says so much about creativity .I believe daily writing and homemaking to enhance my life...
I cant be creative until I have order in the house .Then its pure pleasure.

Mountain Ash, you had me there, until the last line. While reading through your post, I was thinking of all the still life arrangements I have created in my house just today - there are two loads of sheets piled on a chair, which I need to fold; there are the breakfast cups sitting on the counter with spoons and napkins; there is the bed to be made; there are books on the footstool that need to be put away - all of these can be looked upon as a creation from a moment in time.... with my house in order, these would not be. And, each tells a story.
