Notes
As a creator you tend to work very hard to make it big, get a big audience and become successful. But once you've had a **hit** piece, what next? Do you expect the same reach for all the pieces now?
We associate ourselves with the work we do and take the feedback that we get personally.
But back in those days, people thought of creativity different.
This was a clip from Your elusive creative genius which is a TED talk by Elizabith Gilbert. I recommend you watch the full talk. She also wrote this book called Big Magic which is a great read, or listen if you prefer audio books.
I want to leave you with question on which you can wander upon. How can you be ready for the creative genius so it can come to you?
