Creativity and Me

Creativity... what is it? Through the years, we're led to believe that it's a trait one is blessed with, giving him/her the uncanny ability to express oneself on demand, I'm beginning to think the difference between the "creative" ones and the rest of us is simply having means of recording the ideas when the flash of inspiration hits us. Of course even the dimmest bulb out there has his/her moments, but i'm talking about long term creativity, not an isolated examination, one hit wonder writers... I read a real-life story by one of my favorite authors, in which he expresses a similar thought, saying that when one gets an idea for a story, it should be written down immediately lest it be forgotten. Hmm, what's with the English there... "lest" hmmph...
Anyway, so recently i've taken to keeping a notebook with me at most times, there's one in my car, as i spend so much time in there, there's one on my desk, the only one i've written in so far.. But i've managed to forget 2 ideas already, can't quite remember what they were, damn.. I know a number of you have blogs where you post straight away when you get ideas of what to write, or do you write it on paper first, then blog later? What you guys think?
ciao for now
