What makes my fellow TEF'ers feel creative? I get most my crazy ideas at random times, although mainly in the shower or after a few bottles of wine.

Does having a real job stifle your creativity at all? Do you forget about all the things you've ever wanted to write? I'm sort of talking out of personal fear here but meh.

Do you come up with ace ideas but never finish them? I do that all the time. The amount of half written short short-stories, half drawn comics, half finished flash animations (I'm yet to finish one) and half finished programming projects I've got kicking around is unbelievable. Loads of it is unfinished because it's shit, and I'm afraid that a lot of it isn't even for the tef, just for personal interest.

Although out of the stuff I have written here on the tef you'd be amazed at how much I don't end up clicking the submit button with. I have to admit though, my quality control does get heavily affected by mood and alcohol.

Meh, I've lost what I was getting at, but you all must have something you'd love to write, draw or do, but never got around to.

I know what you mean, when I get together with a few of my cloest mates we come up with weird schemes that never happen......

Including some film script stuff and ideas for a new tv series.

Ideas generally come at stupid times....like I was just driving the other day and suddenly got it with a really ace idea for a WWF Wrestling character!?!

ummm....I also write stuff then dont click submit alot

I've never taken any acid. It's on my list of things to try.

The WWF character thing is pretty gay.

Most of my not clicking submits go down to judging that I'll offend more people than I will make laugh. Although after a few bottles of wine, I tend to go with a 70-30 split being ok.

I'm with Ben on the 'starting things but never finishing them' problem.

Photoshops, VB projects, web sites and loads of other stuff. I come up with ace little ideas in my head, start them but then get bored and never finish them.
