Update after two years: trying to think thoughts I never thought before (or words, images, sounds, etc) still works amazingly every time I try it. It’s pretty much the key to creativity in every area. I find myself not doing it as often as I could, but when I know someone else will be interested (like when some friends want me to write lyrics for a song), it comes easily and naturally. So everyone, please demand more creativity from me and from each other!
