Creative Accounting

A quick way of getting promoted if you are an employee, or a relatively safe way of retiring prematurely if you are the employer, as long as you don’t get caught.
Unlike the negative image associated with creative accounting, other creative activities like creative writing and creative thinking are looked upon positively.

creative reaction

A moment of unlimited potential, where energy and creativity are released in high yields. (A more descriptive term for "being in the zone", the phrase it replaces.) The conditions necessary for a creative reaction are a well-engineered infrastructure, simplified business procedures, and productivity skills which enable creatives to shut out distractions, make the most of available time, and be energized. When these conditions are met, the spark of creativity is all that is needed for a creative reaction to occur.
I shut my door, turned the ringer off, then quit out of chat & e-mail. I got SO MUCH of my screenplay done. Creative reaction is the only way to describe it!

creative-nostalgic

A particular type of nostalgia - a longing for enhanced creativity in the form of inspirational, imaginative, philosophical thoughts, of which appear to be diminishing in the current age.

A state of mind in which a person longs to exist in a previous culture or society which appears creatively superior to their own.
A creative-nostalgic person longs to feel the same emotions that they felt from watching or reading Lord of the Rings, the works of J.R.R Tolkien, and wishes for similar works of art to be created.

A creative-nostalgic person may be someone whom embraces medieval culture and/or mythology such as that of the Norse Vikings and envisions themselves in that world and portrays their vision in a creative art form.

Creative Menopause

The stage in your life when creative ideas come in flashes instead of being regular.
I am also delighted to meet a fellow creative type. Creative ideas are like ovary eggs...you are born with a number of them and they are release over time throughout one's career. I'm in creative menopause. The ideas come, but they are not as free flowing as they were when I was younger. Having a surrogate idea man at my age is awesome and I look forward to doing business with you.

Creative Truthing

When you present the truth in a very unflattering way as a means to deter another person's romantic interest in you. This technique is most useful in online dating.
I was grossly unimpressed when I met Joe for a coffee date. I wasn't lying when I told him that I wanted to get married, have two kids and be a stay at home mom. I was just creative truthing.
