In the fifth episode of the “creative obstacles” series, we look at how our psychological defenses can get in the way of authentic creating. Why do we deny–to ourselves and to others–that we are having difficulties with our current painting or our current novel, when if we admitted that truth we might open up to our good solutions? Listen and find out.
Good listening!
This week’s show is the fourth in a series called “Overcoming Obstacles to Creating,” a series about how our personality can get in the way of our creating. Today, in a show adapted from an essay in my book A Writer’s Paris, we look at the negative effects of looking too ardently to the past for models. The show is called “Chasing Ghosts.” Good listening!
Today’s episode is the third in our series about overcoming obstacles to creativity. In today’s show I focus on the problem of self-censorship and how too many people, wanting to be “nice,” fail to find the internal permission to say, in their life or in their art, what’s really on their mind.
This lack of internal permission is a great blocker and a great silencer–which is why we need to take a careful look at the problem. I hope you enjoy today’s show! Good listening.
In today’s episode on the Joy of Living Creatively, the second in a nine-part series on “creative obstacles,” I chat about how writers who take my nonfiction book proposal writing workshops start with such enthusiasm and quickly lose that enthusiasm as the largeness of the task in front of them becomes all too abundantly clear.
The episode, called “Fearing Difficulty,” focuses on our natural desire that the creative work in front of us might be just a little bit easier to accomplish than it is–and the courage we have to muster in the face of the ordinary difficulties that come with creative effort. I hope you enjoy this week’s episode!
