<p>How creative are you?  Do you know your creative assets and blind spots?  Keep reading for a simple way to discover them.</p>
<p>With help from the wonderful Dolly Hopkins, I created a creativity skill set called E.S.C.A.P.E.  Each of the letters stands for a different creativity skill.</p>
<p>The &#8216;A&#8217; stands for assumptions, as in identifying and breaking them down.  Making assumptions is the biggest creativity killer.</p>
<p>The most common creative assumption?  That&#8217;s easy.  That you&#8217;re not creative.</p>
<p>I beg to differ.  We&#8217;re ALL creative, we simply show our creative strips in different ways.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another example of an assumption.  Which way do you read?  If you&#8217;re reading English you read left to right.  But is that the only way?</p>
<p>What happens if we turn that assumption on its head?  A damn fine video, that&#8217;s what.</p>
