I do think that we can use the fear -- including this fear of the act of creating -- to re-enliven our creativity. This is part of the fodder that I use as an improvisational artist. I've written a few posts about this, so I won't turn this comment into another essay. ;) Playful blessings, Stan We are fully aligned on this subject.

It is difficult sometimes when we're in the midst of one project and feel we have to give it everything we have (and will <em>ever</em> have) to make it as good as possible. Yes, we can give it our full focus when we're working on it, but in the future, we will have that full focus freed and available again for whatever project we happen to be working on next. It's an infinite source. Thanks for your comments Nicole, I completely agree.

Everything you said is so true! Many people think that they will run out of creative ideas, but the truth is that once you really start rolling with your creative spirit you will always have too many. I find this very encouraging because it reminds me that there will always be another project and takes the pressure off the absolute brilliance of the one I'm working on. I also agree about time---I think many people are very afraid to actually act on their creative impulses because they're afraid they won't turn out the way they've imagined them in their heads. The "no time" excuse is something we all tell ourselves when we're afraid. Even if you only have five minutes a day, you have time to start working on your creative projects. And yes, I also agree that the excitement and the fear are always companions in every project that really means something to you. Oh, great post! Everything you said is so true!

I'm curious, do you only enjoy to create something that you feel is "exceptional" when it's finished? Is the end "product" your main aim? What about the enjoyment, experimentation and learning of creating as we go through each new project? Rebecca, thanks for your comments.

My excuse is that my work is and never will be good enough. And I know that nothing short of exceptional is truly worthwhile. My deepest fear is inadequacy.
