MINI: Paradox, Playfulness, and the Writing Life (Quote Series #2)

  • サマリー

  • On today’s mini episode, we’re looking at another of my favorite quotes about the writing life.

    “Creativity is sacred, and it is not sacred. What we make matters enormously, and it doesn’t matter at all. We toil alone, and we are accompanied by spirits. We are terrified, and we are brave. Art is a crushing chore and a wonderful privilege. Only when we are at our most playful can divinity finally get serious with us. Make space for all these paradoxes to be equally true inside your soul, and I promise—you can make anything. So please calm down now and get back to work, okay? The treasures that are hidden inside you are hoping you will say yes.”

    - Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

    Let’s discuss how this quote might speak to us about the lightness and playfulness required to creativity.

    Mentioned in Episode:

    Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert
    The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron

    The first episode in our quote series: S4E21 MINI: Standing on the Shoulders of (Literary) Giants
