I like that idea of building 'mental momentum' at the beginning of the creative process too. I have to put effort into beginning more than anything else :) Hi Annemieke,

Thanks for reading. I like that idea of building ‘mental momentum’ at the beginning of the creative process too. I have to put effort into beginning more than anything else :)

I would never have thought about the pinball as a metaphor for creativity but reading this I certainly can see what you mean. Especially the launch of the ball compared with a mental momentum at the start of a creative process. And the targets that raise your skill level. A whole different way to look at creativity, great!

Hi Aidan, Hey--it is cool about the name! I'm glad the metaphor worked for you, i'm glad you've experienced creativity with all it's bells lights and movement! That's what can sustain us in the periods where we're slogging it out. I bookmarked your blog last night. I enjoyed what I read, will be back to read more later. And congratulations on having your novel published. Hi Fabeku,

I think this metaphor is compelling and instructive. And this post, this ode to creativity, is wonderful and fun. Pleased to have stumbled upon you and your words - via The Emotion Machine. (And kind of cool that we have the same last name!)
