One Man's Creative Process

View this amazing video:

which I learned about through Barbara Winter's really cool email newsletter, Joyfully Jobless News, which led me to howdesign.com, where it was posted. They got it from fastcompany.com. Since it had a "share button" I don't feel like I'm plagiarizing.

This video is a terrific look at a slice of one person's (Ken Carbone's) creative process.

There is some good advice, and I am going to work on beefing up my own journals with visuals. I'm not a visual artist. I work with words. But I feel like working more visually will enhance my writing, too. (Note how this visual artist works quite a lot with words....)

Are blogs creative?

What do you think? Are blogs creative?

I don't really think so. I use this blog to speculate on my own and other's creativity--their creative ideas and/or creative process.

In the past, I've often remarked on one particular topic: the blocks to my own creativity. But I'm trying to move beyond this limited topic to explore the creative processes of others...

If you would be willing to be interviewed, please contact me by leaving a comment, telling me how to reach you.

Thanks!!

Uh oh...

I'm thinking about applying for PhD programs... I like going to school. I like teaching. I'm good at teaching grammar and beginning writing, but I'd also like to teach creative writing courses. I would need to work at a different school to do that, and I would need to have a PhD to teach at a different school.... Hmmmm.
