Figuring Creativity Out.
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.

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.

This is me sitting at my desk knowing that I'd rather be writing.

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.

Times dictate the flexing of creativity.

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.

Unpacking how overthinking creativity can drain us and our own work. However, it has its teeth in me and I must learn more.

Although, sometimes the view is beautiful.

Apathy is a problem. Sometimes you got to go after it, as motivation is the by product, not the ingredient.

Give it a try.

Go after that blank page.

Look, the manuscript might be on fire, but at least its warm.

Is it a bad idea to say that when you hate your work, it's normal?

In the pursuit of understanding creativity, psychology is shows us a lot about this

I'll admit I undersell the entire complexity of this science, and the article does a little better.

Experimenting around with images and concepts, book cover arts are really something.

All are thoughts and assumptions, but getting something down helps.

Its quite surprising to see the difference what I think works, and what doesn't work!

They need some Mass Effect in their lives.

I love these.

It's more of an "edit in progress" as I keep finding things I must work on! Now chapter 5 out of 20.

We all know its hard work, and its oddly rewarding!

Film's history is more complex than we think. 

Artists were showing fundamental principles of innovation decades before scientists named them.

The first forty years of #film show how #creativity actually happens.

The first of three goes live tomorrow!

True creativity is about embracing uncertainty and asking meaningful questions. It’s less about having all the solutions and more about possibilities.

So celebrate your questions! They’re the spark that leads to innovation and deeper understanding.

Creativity is a push against what is.

I feel this in my bones whenever I write. For both fiction and non-fiction, I need to say something. I need to do something.

Its not a quiet knock of rocks.

Its a need.

This #wipsnip is technically a rewrite and I think I understand the reason why I am struggling with it.

Since it is quite early in the book, this must set the intention and action that leads somewhere. While I think it does the job, its quite rough.

Has anyone experienced this before?

I'm willing to bet that I'm not the only #writer who looks at their work and say, "what fresh hell is this?"

And writing #advice is everywhere. So being better really should be easy?

Right?

Right?

I talk more about this in my next article! It goes live in a day!

Are we afraid to admit where our creative work really comes from?

Since we fear being exposed as frauds, we convince ourselves that we are the original.

But what if we are wrong.

I really respect and believe in this. Creativity is constant, not a chance.

#Creativity isn’t just making something new.

It’s not about filling space, but arguing with emptiness.
Every creative #act is a refusal to leave the world untouched. Its a bold claim that we matter, and our mark can last.

To create is to insist there’s meaning, even in the void.

This is from an article to do with "Creatively, We Are All Thieves."

The line between "influenced by" and "stolen from" has nothing to do with what you take. And it does a get a bit.... spicy.

Also, shameless self promotion. medium.com/@asymmetricc...

I guess I could consider this a "partial prompt". Its from a rewrite and I decided to make it miserable via rain.

It is to be sad! So as a #writer, why not put the hero into misery via show, not tell. Hmm... maybe I do need therapy.
