Elizabeth Gilbert’s classical approach to creativity
Elizabeth Gilbert’s TED talk onĀ changing our approach to creativity is just exquisite. She argues that it may be healthier and more practical to adopt a Greco-Roman view of creativity, where inspiration comes from capricious external forces, than to continue with the humanist idea of the suffering artist who’s solely responsible for the success or failure of his creations. There’s a section on poet Ruth Stone’s writing process around 10:15.
