I may reference it in a creativity-themed post. One thing I'd like to mention (and it's tangential) is the concept of sunk cost. I have thrown a lot of creative energy into certain projects/media simply because of natural talent or training... but didn't love it enough for the persistence part to not be a drag. Letting that go and starting something new may get me labeled a flake... but at least I'm a happy flake. Love it. I may reference it in a creativity-themed post.

That's true on quite a few levels, and, of course, in the creative process those labels are never clearly defined. That ambiguity can often spin us into even more fear... that of the unknown, or of the empty space. You've outlined a great guide here, breaking the creative process down into very manageable steps, and that Big Empty Space into more comfortable rooms.

Oh, and, as you know, it's not the beginnings that get me; it's the endings. And you know what I'm doing to be creative, though I'm not doing it today because I'm engaging in my only hobby and driving my kid places.
