Web Sta 4 months agoAnxiety? Anger? Living dangerously?? As a creative professional for over 20 years, I have to say: This list couldn’t be more wrong. Further, I have to note that every one of these suggestions is basically seeking irresponsibility. Which is a problem, since you cannot magically absolve yourself of problems caused by your irresponsibility. Irresponsibility is something that many people seek, and none find, because ultimately you cannot escape the consequences of what you yourself have done. You may avoid them for a while but ultimately, as Yoda notes, irresponsibility — and the emotional states that make you think being irresponsible is a good idea — all lead, inevitably, to suffering. I think the list may be based in the “suffering artist” cliche. There is no need to suffer to be an artist. Unless you’re too irresponsible to think through issues without being forced, by your suffering, to do so. Which, again, is irresponsible. All creativity takes is an open and thoughtful mind, a willingness to apply that mind to the problems at hand (artistic or otherwise), and lots and lots of regular, consistent, hard-working practice. Which takes responsibility. Not waiting for some magical muse to strike during a bender of irresponsibility… Ridiculous.

Speaking of… closing the browser and picking up the guitar. Happy Saturday, everyone.

Yep… if I’m too anxious and angsty to settle in and zone out, I gotta pick up that guitar, that pen, the glue and solvent, and DO something. The stasis is the source of the angst.

…and then sober up and do something. Weed is more known for making people THINK they’re creative while they don’t do anything. Not hating. I smoke sometimes myself. But the will to DO is in YOU, not the drug.

therblig 5 months ago“Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.” “Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just… DO things”
