Exquisite Corpse, Revision & Creativity
An old guitar player once told me, " You got to have troubles to play the blues." The same idea applies to my creative process. I need something that gets me emotionally engaged. I'm often a very dispassionate person, and that doesn't always lend itself to creativity. So when I feel a strong emotional reaction, that's usually a sign that it is time to put pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard.
