Conversations About Creativity
In the artist's dream, the muse appears at the perfect moment with the right material. But waiting for inspiration can take longer than we think, and in the meantime, the mortgage is due. Through inspiring conversations with clowns, poets, comics, painters, screenwriters, authors, and web phenoms, this site shares the techniques that artists use to help drive their creativity. From establishing daily habits, just "going to work," offering yourself a prize for a goal, or merely taking the time to be happy—the tricks they share remind us that our challenges are not unique. One points out that going for a walk in the afternoon doesn't have to mean you've stopped working. Another advises us how to react when inspiration shows up at 6:30 a.m. Just try walking away without finding enlightenment about your own creative projects.
