Elizabeth Gilbert on nurturing creativity | Video on TED.com

Really interesting, and borderline kooky (but therefore refreshing), talk on creativity/ the muse/ Genius, and strategies for dealing with same. Key: think of it as residing outside of yourself, as a "visitation," and in this way take the heat off yourself when you "fail" to deliver. But don't forget to show up - old-fashioned ideas about genius aren't an excuse for slacking off!
QUOTE
Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

small change: the winter mind

Maria wrote a really good post about creativity and depression - whether alleviating depressions (say, through medication) nixes the creative impetus - and I left a long(ish) comment, with references to Twyla Tharp's notion of the creative *habit*.
