It is hard to be consistently creative on your own. The best ideas come from people brainstorming together and one great idea leading to another. Without somebody with whom you can bounce ideas around with, your business or project will lack a creative spark.”

I’m not sure that’s necessarily the right emphasis.

The truth is, we just don’t know what creativity is born out of. It seems to need interaction, but it also needs solitude in order to contemplate and process ideas.

Brainstorming and interaction with others is fine for determining process. But determining process isn’t creativity, it’s just working out the nuts and bolts of how to turn a creative idea into reality.
