"The lesson is not that I should give up any of those pleasures in order to write. It's that I should allow myself also to write every day."

—Janet Burroway, Writing Fiction

What does "allowing yourself to write" mean to you? Have you applied this mindset to your writing? Do you want to?

The Surprising Origins of Our Obsession with Creativity (11min) behavioralscientist.org/the-su
The concept of creativity emerged in the postwar era as a way to address the alienation and conformity of white-collar work. Creativity was seen as a way to make work more humane and to restore a sense of individual vision and passion. All of this was embraced by businesses and organizations as a way, you guessed it, to boost innovation and productivity. Not what you expected, right?

is as if there was an infinite variety of fruits and I was taking a bite of each one and moving on to the next. I taste as much as possible, but I never make juice from most of them.

"Walking at our own pace creates an unadulterated feedback loop between the rhythm of our bodies and our mental state ... When we stroll, the pace of our feet naturally vacillates with our moods and the cadence of our inner speech; at the same time, we can actively change the pace of our thoughts by deliberately walking more briskly or by slowing down."

This is a song I am working on for a future release. Unmixed (well, a tiny bit) and drum loop which will be replaced with real drums in the future. Link to Soundcloud: on.soundcloud.com/CYYNY

Got a chance to browse a bookstore today, picked up “A Poetry Handbook” by poet Mary Oliver, about writing and reading poetry. I read the odd book about the creative process, whether or . Always open to suggestions for good books that open up these kind of pathways, if ya got one

GPT-4 responses topped those by 24 undergraduates on the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking👾👾👾

Cool stuff, great tool, sure!🎈

A few basic thingies:
- These studies have strikingly small and imbalanced samples. Why? 🎣
-The TTCT is designed to test creative potential under the constraints of human cognition, so what exactly do we learn?🧠
- How will GPT-4 fare 'in the wild'? Problems IRL are not so well defined🦁

Traveling and Creativity ☀️ 🏖️

This study from the future by Hu & Wan - it's already published in 2024 - shows how recalling holiday memories can boost your creativity. 💡 🎨 ✍️

Another reason to plan that new vacation, if you needed one.

One thing I’ve done since I was ~6 years old is get bored, design some simple game and play it with whomever I’m living with.

Often these games only last a session or two. The point isn’t to create something commercial, the point is to use my creativity to bring people together.

I do love how I can now have a bunch of things on hand to make the play test a little more silly.

Many people believe that creativity is an inborn talent that diminishes with age. However, this is not true. Creativity is a skill that can be developed and improved throughout life. It is not a single ability, but a combination of various cognitive processes that can be enhanced through practice, feedback, and exposure to diverse experiences.
