Are you creative? What was the first response that came to your mind? I have had a lot of conversations with people who don't believe that they are creative. I was one of those people myself until I realized I couldn't avoid being creative any more than I could avoid being human. It comes with the box.* I thought I'd create a piece with the most common arguments for not being creative or to at least postpone the expression of said ability. Have a listen. And then read that question again.
