Great hub post Bryan! I agree completely with you when you say that imitation is a great tool for developing creativity. I was reading in a book, I believe, or perhaps it was in a class that I gleamed this, that creativity is propelled by constraints. For example if you give an artist a blank canvas, he or she might struggle with creating something. However if you give an artist a canvas with a few lines already thrown on there, they are more likely to be able to create an image out of those constraints. Likewise I believe that imitation is a great spark to creativity. Again, great research all around.

I took a creative writing class from Kim Johnson (kimberly_johnson@byu.edu) and I loved it. She is pretty liberal so she might give you a different perspective than most BYU professors. Good luck and I'll be anxious to see how it goes!

I hope you didn't go to class today. I meant to write on your blog and let you know that class was canceled, but I totally blew it. You had mentioned that you were still looking for something for your creative project, and here are a few ideas I had... don't know if they'll help any.

You could take a look at the Shakespeare festival held each year in Southern Utah from a business angle. You could maybe even get some figures from them. You could compare attendance, profits, etc from this festival to the globe in Shakespeare's time.

You could just take a look at the history of the globe, where did it get its funding, what were admissions etc.

Another idea is you could compare the earnings of a producer, playwright, actor of Shakespeare's time with one from Hollywood in today's world.

Sorry that none of these will probably help you, but maybe they'll spark an idea. Good luck!

While it seems almost everyone knows who Shakespeare was, no one can name a predecessor of Shakespeare, or the original author of some of Shakespeare's plots and characters. Shakespeare deserves the credit for turning these plots and characters into something that has lasted centuries, even though he may not have come up with them originally.

I feel like all three of us (Rebecca, Jessica and myself) have similar focus topics: generally, modern day Shakespeare. I am focusing on modern allusions to Shakespeare's work, right now specifically in William Faulkner's works. I am going to start following bot of y'all a little more and see if we can't help each other out. Good Luck!

One of the reasons that Shakespeare's works are still so popular today is because of the emotional ties between audiences then and now. This is definitely a topic that has occupied audience's heads for a long time now... great to see your personal application to it!

I started The Sound and The Fury... might turn out that I just skim through it pretty quickly so as to cover more works.
