I don't think there are any fast & easy ways to expressing your creativity. It's actually like they say: Creativity is 10 % inspiration and 90 % perspiration.

I want to do about a hundred different creative things, but the drawback is that they all require this huge amount of *work*! And since I basically want to do them all equally much, I can't decide which thing I'm going to devote my time and energy on. As a result, I don't get to do any of them.

Go for one or a few of the things, and put lots of energy into it.

If you want to write, take a writing class. If you want to draw, take a drawing class. That way, you'll discover if that's what you want to do. At any rate, it's very useful knowledge! I took a year at an art school recently, and I've put the knowlegde from that school to use in many other areas of my life.

If you want to play drums, start saving money for a drumset. Or start collecting junk. Gather some rhythmic friends, and start your own "STOMP" group. (Actually, that's what *I'd* like to do some time in the future, if I can find somewhere to do it.)

If you want to make 3D worlds, start saving money for a program. Or, if you don't want to risk spending a lot of money on something you're not sure you're going to use, see if you can get hold of a copy of the program first to test it out. But be sure to buy it if you decide it's your thing. I did that with 3D Studio Max years ago, and I'm glad I didn't spend any money on it, because I didn't use it very much. I tried making a model of my room, but got bored pretty soon.

I'm 27 years old now, and I *still* have a hard time deciding what I want to do. I'm not sure that graphic design is the right job for me. I'm not even sure if there *is* any such thing as "the *right* job" for me...
