Creativity is intelligence having fun.

Creativity is intelligence having fun.

This is a thread for people who like to be creative and how mental health effects their creativity.Anything from painting to writing to mathematical formulas to building treehouses to gardening to music, It's different than the craft thread. The craft one is good but I can't do craft. I always get holes in my knitting and I just don't like it.

So I will start. I am writing 3 books which I will illustrate. I list a lot when I am manic and have 30 or more ideas for paintings and stories and helping the world and making money. When I am done and well again I look at the list again and maybe can get one or two stories out of it that makes sense. I laugh at all the other ones. They are so crazy but I keep them in a draw. I like to paint too but it's very messy and I have a house to run. I think that you can get a bit carried away by projects and stay up all night. Does anyone else do that?

@Sweet_cheeks, the artificial heart is pretty amazing..

I feel like an artificial brain would be pretty handy. Got a nice smile / chuckle from that Sweet cheeks 🙂 I think I'd would get 2 , one would be John Butler for music, he is just so amazing. The 2nd I would try would be Lenoardo Da Vinci, he had his fingers in so many pies and came up with some pretty inventive things.

Interesting to Me was that i heard the story about the artificial heart on a podcast where this guy was talking about his heart transplant. The guy is pretty big and a powerlifter. He got fitted with a womans heart. They told him it was too small. In a week it grew to the size he needed. He thought the woman was asian and he thought he could sense some things about her life, like that she was married and had children.

I'm not too unhappy with my mind/melon.. i'm learning lately to try and let go of negativity and thoughts that aren't productive or helping Me.

It was really interesting to hear him talk about 'flat lining' 5 times and how appreciative of life he is now.

@Judi9877, interesting thoughts and questions. I like your abstract drawings, they remind me of fractal patterns. I'd like to see them coloured in, they look great in single colour / pen.

I grow all sorts. Not as many edibles as I used. They tend to use a lot of water. Today I made a dent in some clay and put a big succulent on top. Keeping weeds down and greening my court, taking over whats not in concrete.

@Judi9877 @Gazza75 @Sweet_cheeks I used to be Isaac A fan.

@Appleblossom I don't really water enough and with summer here I wish I'd put in some succulents. They are really quite beautiful. I'd like to put my head in a water feature today. It's boiling. Poor bushfire fighters.

Yep @Sweet_cheeks

Gotta be drought resistant. I am an earthy gardener not just the pretties ... but over time the garden has proved itself and I continue to learn. It was hot work and I am just cleaning up before I go out to a meeting and a rehearsal.

Its really bad in other states. I am lucky I am down south.

@Sweet_cheeks @Appleblossom @Judi9877, I would like to know whose brains you would borrow if you. Could. Only if you comfortable in saying.

Ha ha @Gazza75

Dont think that way. Am Curious about the Greats in many fields. Madame Curie, Bach etc but they all had their problems. I have a lot of brain pain and would like that to go away, but swapping it for someone else's probs never occurred to me..
