Creativity Is A Process, Not An Outcome

I want the idea.

I want it now.

I want it organized, and well articulated, and on the damn page.

I have stuff to do.

But that’s not how it works.

My hands are empty.

My brain is full.

Frustration is already on tilt.

Then I remember:

Creativity is a stuff to do.

A daily practice (like this Personal Archive).

A new reflection visited.

An old reflection revisited.

Creativity is not an outcome, in and of itself.

Creativity is the process of working an idea out.

It demands the process.

Creativity requires ritual.

An expression.

A feeling, with shape.

A shape, with feelings.

So I'll try again.

I want the ideas.

I want them now, and before, and later.

I want to organize, articulate, and map them out.

Being creative is the stuff I want to do.

Being a creative is what I choose to be.

And, yeah.

My hands are still empty.

But they're moving.
