Ask HN: Did you become more creative as you aged?

My fear of failure and ridicule has plummeted over the same timescale. Which means that I'm much more likely to act on, and deliver, creative ideas and inspirations now. So while my creative output has increased, so has my level of creative dead ends.

Yes and no. I used to be unhealthy. I became more creative when I started eating better and exercising. My theory is that getting healthier made my brain healthier. I can think faster and solve more complicated problems faster and in more creative ways than I could a decade ago. So in that regard I suppose age or time spent eating healthier was a factor.
