Creative Cogitations: Coming to terms with being a creative person.

As part of a forth coming podcast, "The Process" I've created a list of questions about creators and their relationship to creativity. The goal is to make decisions about the process of creativity so creators can be unencumbered when creating.

1       The Creative Need

1.1      Is being creative a primal urge?
1.2      Do your creations define your identity?
1.3      Do you create for the outcomes?
1.4      Do you have a creative voice?
1.5      Does the creative medium matter?
1.6      Are the tools you use important?
1.7      Does it bother you that no one cares?

2       The Creative Life Style

2.1      Do you believe in talent or hard work?
2.2      Can you be a starving artist?
2.3      Is a creator’s lifestyle linked to a stable existence?
2.4      Can you grow with your creative lifestyle?
2.5      How are people related to your creativity?

3       Creative Sovereignty

3.1      Do you own your ideas?
3.2      Do you savor obscurity and the freedom it affords you?
3.3      How would you define your creative domain?
3.4      How much freedom does your path afford you?

4       Making Sense Making Cents

4.1      Does being poor suck?
4.2      Are you free from avarice?
4.3      Should you worry about commercial success in your Art?
4.4      Can a creator really sell out?
4.5      Can creators work both for money and other times for Art?
4.6      Do you believe a “Day Job” is helpful/hurtful to a creator?
