Creative Process by Carol Ann Howell
Posted April 24th, 2008 by srsorrellThe creative process needs input. We must make something out of nothing. We have an empty page, an empty space, and we must take something of ourselves to birth a new entity. That takes a lot of ego-strength. We need someone to cheer us on when we run out of steam. In Spanish they call it apoyo. We need that support in our lives as a whole, to help us to be the best we can. Without apoyo we whither. You can be be a self-starter only so long until you begin to run on minus.
But with apoyo, you can create anything! You never run out of ideas! I say that writing is so easy for me it is like water flowing. And with encouragement, it gushes and more makes more!
