The Writing Apothecary Podcast
Welcome to Creativity and The Muse
Welcome to a new topic! We're going to look at Creativity and the Muse. I make some pretty big statements too, but before that let's take a peek into what will come. It's also the first episode back after the huge year that was! I cover it in the episode.
We’ll be looking at the history behind the muse and just what creativity is.
Creativity will not wait for you. It will dry up when you don’t use it but it will still be there when you come back to it. It’s something that you have to work with. The more that use of creativity, the more there is. Some of my favourite books on creativity explore coming back from being stuck or that you can have a day job and still create. If you’re serious about your work you would have head all about Big Magic by Liz Gilbert and it still stands as one of my favourite books in the world about creativity. And it’s my go to book to recommend for an easy read where you don’t have to do too much work.
Tell me what did you take away from this week's lesson? I'd love to know.
