The capacity to make something from what you perceive, imagine or care about, and to keep contact with your own judgement while the work becomes visible and revisable.
Creativity & expression is the capacity to turn perception, imagination, skill and judgement into something that can exist outside you.
Expression is not only release. Once an idea becomes a sentence, object, performance, design or decision, it can be revised, encountered and responded to.
Creative capacity includes generating possibilities, choosing among them, tolerating imperfection and staying close enough to your own taste that feedback does not replace authorship.
The glossary entries on Creativity, Creative process and Creative authorship give the conceptual frame. There Is No Empty Page explores why creative block often contains more material than emptiness.
The Creative Hero’s Journey develops this capacity across possibility, permission and the ability to let a creation survive contact with the world.
