I think that creativity is largely a matter of practice and a matter of habit.  People get random ideas all the time, but usually they’re too busy to pursue it as more than an idle fantasy.   Creative people have a habit of acting on those ideas, chasing them, developing them in more detail, writing them down, filing them away for future reference.  When I was a teenager I wanted to be a science fiction writer.  The only drawback was that I couldn’t seem to think of any good ideas.  Then in my twenties I got involved in role-playing games.  For awhile there I was the game master for our little group, which meant that I was responsible for the adventure every month.  Suddenly I was seeing story ideas everywhere I looked.
