I have lots of ideas for all kinds of things. When I see people that are more "creative" than me, I most of all see them pursuing ideas that I don't think are any good, until they pursue them far enough, and then I finally realize that it was a good idea all along. I think maybe that the ability to recognize and pursue promising ideas is as important as the ability to produce them, or more so.
