Is creativity something you can train? And if so: what are ways to do so?

I think crativity comes from information consumption, interaction with the world and a little bit of drugs (alcohol included) anything that allows you to jump a little out of the box here and there.
Then you can 'train' how to make this output accessible and pleasent.

Yes, thankfully due to neuroplasticity and the ability to change your mind by training your mind, you can.

Welp /lit/ I posted that I was reading this about 2 weeks ago I just finished. Over all I loved it . I do want to reread it after I read some of the other of the lost stories of Tolken.
I just went and picked up the children of Huron.

Why aren't you being environmenfally conscious and reading ebooks yet? Why, at the very least, are you not buying used books to help reduce waste?
Do you want deforestation? Do you want the environment to be destroyed? All of my book purchases are used or I torrent ebooks.
There is no excuse not to do either of these things, so why are you not?

Just finished Asimov's 'The Stars, Like Dust'.
Holy shit, what a terrible book. I feel offended, actually. It has to be the worst last parahraph in literature. It has to be the most boring Sci Fi romance in history.

If you write as much as Asimov wrote, you're bound to generate some very crappy books every now and then.

>It was while gliding through these latter waters that one serene and moonlight night, when all the waves rolled by like scrolls of silver; and, by their soft, suffusing seethings, made what seemed a silvery silence, not a solitude: on such a silent night a silvery jet was seen far in advance of the white bubbles at the bow. Lit up by the moon, it looked celestial; seemed some plumed and glittering god uprising from the sea.

No one is capable of putting their most darkest truths on to paper without embellishing it or changing details. Some truths are near impossible to admit to the self.

Was Cosette the first loli in literature ?
Let me explain. I don't mean "loli" as young girls seducing men (she doesn't) but a young girl character only to trigger protective instincts for the male reader and untold sexual attraction as she grows up into a beautiful (and still very young) lady the reader is supposed to desire.
Young girls are kinda rare in old literature. Greeks never talk seriously about female children younger than 15 (making them adult at the time), Medieval times only use them as character to teach actual young girls (and tell them to not go near "wolves") and modern times just don't use them in stories.
But suddenly, with the 19th centuries, kids and especially young girls become a subject, a bait for men to protect or even sacrifice for them. It's something we can still notice in recent movies, young girls characters are made from a MALE point of view. When reading les Miserables, you're supposed to hate the Thénardiers, kidnap Cosette from them and keep her for yourself. She's not a character in herself, she's just something you want to possess.
How do you explain the birth on this kind of character during that time ? How do you explain the success of it even today ? Are we all hephebophiled ? Are all writers ?
