Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. Creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight. An alternative conception of creativeness is that it is simply the act of making something new.
And there is pretty much nothing to disagree in that.
But looking for genius in creativity is hard. I have never been able to be creative in any of my endeavors, and I haven't, till date, figured out why. But you keep doing your work, and genius might patch up with creativity.
As Elizabeth Gilbert rightly puts it
http://www.ted.com/index.php/It takes a very great mind to actually create something new, be it art, stories, computer code, buildings etc. You can find it all around you. Provided it is done properly.talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_ genius.html
PS: - Even the Nuclear bomb was a creative idea.
