You’re right. These apply to any kind of creative or problem solving process. I think it’s more accurate to talk about “problem solving,” but “creativity” is the word generally used in copywriting.

Really good post. I think every point of the list is very true and not just for writing. Actually I don’t know much about writing, but they are all very true for creativity in general.

But I thought especially 1 and 2 are very interesting. Creating and at the same time being to analyzing is deadly I think. It is a process that takes time.

And indeed hunting and changing are very different. I think at some point you need some transforming quality to make it useful in a certain case. You can’t just use instant solutions, you have to create your own.
