like what are the best methods to get the brain active to create something, most of the things i want to require an idea but the truth is i have nothing and im not sure how to get an idea or if its even possible for me due to my autism or how my brain works.
maybe im just being hard on myself i use to come up with so many ideas but theses days i have nothing or just half a mess that i cant seem to finish cleaning, if that makes sense.
is there a suggestion, tip, method, or something that can get my brain started. if your wondering what im trying to do i would like to make a short comic i feel if doing so i might learn something or it would be interesting. i heard sticky notes are good but i dont want a room full of sticky notes, that just dosent seem right?
Let yourself be bored. Daydream. Look out the window. Do nothing. Try to meditate.
Connexions seem to happen when we try less, and connexions lie at the center of creativity.
I had all my best ideas stareing out of the window on long train or bus journeys. These days I’m constantly “entertained” by my phone so it’s much harder to get into the same state of mind.
I tend to figure out code, wiring, etc. problems while I’m in the shower just after I get up in the morning and not even thinking about it.
Edit: Grammar
Start with something specific, like a character or a setting and think about what it could be like. Sketch and get ideas on paper. It doesn’t have to be good but you have to start somewhere to learn what works and what doesn’t.
Walks, showers, naps, repeat cycle. That’s how I do it.
There are some good suggestions, but I want to mention that you are being a bit hard on yourself. Pressure will not help creativity. Give yourself permission to relax. And realize that it gets harder as you get older, but don’t punish yourself for time passing.
Echoing the others here, give yourself time to let your mind wander.
All of these non-marijuana suggestions are good, but I’d like to suggest marijuana.
