“Creativity is an awful lot like sex. If it always has to be
great, that creates a certain amount of performance anxiety. If, instead, you
experiment a little, even when you’re not in the mood and don’t have time for a
long candlelight dinner with your muse, interesting things may start to
develop. You are married to your creativity, not just out on a first date.”
—Julia Cameron, The Vein of
Gold
