    On my creative process…

    I believe there is a natural rhythm to the unfolding of reality, and if we harmonize with it, we are gifted with inspiration and/or positive synchronicities that seem to materialize against all odds. I believe this internal harmony is what gives rise to optimal creative expression. And even if it requires an outward display of…

    I suspect there’s a difference between negativity that naturally arises, without any prompting or deliberation, and negativity that arises through willful focus. I suspect natural negativity is meant to be internally felt and allowed, if not externally expressed (if we always expressed it externally, it could destroy relationships or send us to prison). And, once…

    As frustrating as it might sound, I believe intuition and feelings have the final say in what I write and publish. The alternative is to ping-pong back and forth between established standards and technical theories on what makes something “good.” Sure, I might be able to construct a checklist based on technicalities that proclaims something…

Writing is a process of self-discovery, where you reflect on exactly what you want to say, and critique yourself (while editing), so you convey your assertions and philosophies in the most…

    Personally, I believe creativity is one of humanity’s default attributes. Some people create something resembling perpetuation (I say resembling because technically, you can never truly perpetuate something exactly as is–the universe is always in a different configuration of matter and energy from moment to moment), and some people create in a way that expresses an…

    I believe humans naturally exercise creativity. Even if it isn’t a “creative pursuit,” such as painting, writing, music, etc, I believe humans are gifted with spontaneous inspiration and ideas. In my opinion, it’s simply a matter of channeling and directing this impulse, instead of forcing it into a so-called “creative pursuit.” The most gratifying expression…
