Figuring Creativity Out.
Hells yea I would! I'd filter it all out so I only see the 5 stars one (which I know is highly unlikely.) It also means I can go and do my chores living in my own bubble! Heh!
(I dread any negative feedback, please dont look at me.)

Look, I'm clearly procrastinating from both work and the novel.
But... am I allowed to make the excuse that thinking of book covers is productive?
And... Am I allowed to ask for thoughts from the #writingcommunity?
The hope is that the book one day comes alive! And #posters too.

We opened Pandora's box, and like the rest of the world, our writing world will never be the same again.
So if your creeped out by an article, it could very well be the uncanny valley at work.

I love how this man gives me credit, when really, he has got stories to tell!
Its really awesome to see other authors share their issues and own them. That is some real inner strength.
Love your work @bjornlarssen.com !

Kill your darlings. Gods, its good advice, BUT, it hurts.
Why? Well, that's my theme for the week.
The article is in drafts as I really need to check the science, but it makes sense why a piece of us dies when we cut something we made.

Would it surprise you that the word “creative” is only 355 years old?
Shakespeare never used it.
Leonardo da Vinci died 151 years before it existed.
Michelangelo carved the Sistine Chapel ceiling without ever calling himself creative.

Have you ever built something good, then watched it fall apart because you forgot what made it work in the first place?
I'd argue that TV has this problem.
From a creative viewpoint, there is much to learn. For the future, there is even more to learn.

Doing this as a trilogy was insane. Not only was it a way to reflect on my previous studies, it was also a great way to see how far creativity has come in this medium alone.

There is a price to creativity.
And that's okay. For what you'll bring back tends to be fucking awesome.

Sometimes thinking about creativity is actually exhausting.

Creativity needs to breath, and often when we work, we crowd it. I like to think of it as growing fruit. Some guys, like Stephen King have fields, others like me, have a tiny garden.
But it needs nutrients and space. And its our responsibility to our creativity that.

As writers, we have an inner reservoir of ideas, inspiration, and energy; our Creative Well. We need to feed often aka replenish our creative energy and inspiration.
Q4 asks about your choice of nourishment.

I'm not the most kind person to myself.
I accept that I have work to do on that, however, there is some science to it. More so in the writing I do.
I still loathe what I write. And that's okay.
