When inspiration becomes creation
Although our cultural stereotype is that great ideas suddenly appear in the minds of creative people without effort, the creative process, in Rothenberg's view, actually results from "direct, intense, and intentional effort on the creator's part." In the process of creativity, people are constantly looking for new ideas, approaches, and solutions. Rothenberg found that inspiration only becomes creation after an enormous amount of work and preparation, and the artist or scientist must be motivated specifically to create. - Richard Berlin, MD

ReplyDeleteThe ideas may take seed...like dandelions puffed in the wind...but there is a process, to determine, where the idea goes...
that is when the process becomes under control of the writer (ie and other creative individuals).
