Creativity is very important to Dan Zen. He has recently acquired the domain, https://creativityframework.com and put his creativity framework there. Zen will rework the site over the years to help educate and inspire with respect to creativity. Zen has already collected his thoughts on creativity and invention, let's take a look at some of these collections.
