You've heard the story about the pottery-making class.
It may have been a study on creativity.
Half the class was told to make the best pots they could and submit one for judging.
The other half was told to make 50 pots each and select the best for judging.
The winning pots always came from the 50-pot group.
Try things. Notice what happens. If you like it, do some more in a slightly different way. If a flub leads to another thought, try that. Discard the duds or cut them up and make a mosaic. If somebody says, "I wonder what would happen if ...," stop everything and listen. Especially if that somebody is you.
