How to create sideways

I am a sideways creator.  I travel my own route, follow what feels right to me.  I will listen to what others say, and test out their rules and their methods.  If the rules or the methods feel right, I use them.  If not, I shift a bit to the left or right, sideways, the direction my heart is telling me, and go forward from there.

These are my current rules for creating sideways:

1. I am the Creator of my creations. No one else is.
2. There are no Rules with a capital ‘R’.
3. I get to make up any rules I want for myself, but I can’t impose these on anyone else.
4. I can add, change, discard, and break my rules any time I wish.
5. I can make up different rules for each thing I create.
6. I can make up no rules at all for my creating.
7. My rules are only a starting point.
8. I can try out anyone else’s rules if I feel like it, and see if they work for me.
9. The best rules come from my heart.  What do I love?  What feels good and makes me happy?  What do I want to play with?  What do I want to share?
10. My rules are play.

There are key words here for the creating sideways method.  Feeling.  Heart.  For myself.  Love.  Happy.  Play.  Share.  This is all I need, all I need carry with me into my studio and into my life.
