Creativity

I used to write about "creative productivity" - until, slowly, I realized that trying to be "productive" while making creative work is like trying to train a wild, mysterious jungle cat. it is not a dog. it will not obey you. the cat will do whatever it wants - when it wants. however, even wild animals have rhythms, routines, and safe spaces.

“If you are creative, the world will bow down to you.”

Sometimes the process of thinking looks like needless chaos from the outside

But thats what creatives should be doing.

Banging on random objects just to see what it might shake out.

Creatives need to make a mess in order to arrive at clarity.
