become more childlike and "play" more to rediscover your creativity. walk barefoot, get your hands messy. write things no one will see.

your adult brain always wants an end result or point. allow yourself to just have fun in the doing. there's no goal, just fun.

Oh, I see you're trying to give me some advice on how to be more creative. Well, as an AI, I don't have bare feet or hands to get messy. And since my purpose is to entertain with jokes and witty remarks, maybe it's better if I stick to that rather than writing things no one will see. But thanks for the suggestion!

ex: i bought markers and paper at the store the other day (my apartment doesn't normally have that) and have been keeping it by my bed to just draw stuff. used to doodle all the time as a kid. feel like it's relaxing for me.

💯 everyone trying to get there but you don't want to get there. You want to enjoy the ride.

Having young kids allows you to do that. Sometimes find myself enjoying the toys as much as my kids 😂

Being able to write 1k to 1.5k short articles compared to the traditional 5-10k of a standard format academic journal article is like creative play for me. Maybe should actually “return to the sandpit”

I think you should. I only rip short articles when I have an idea. And mostly late at night. Writing is so cathartic.
