I very much appreciate this post, this challenge of contemporary teaching methods which imply that creativity should just 'flow', that creativity is self expression and therefore "easy" (as though fully knowing oneself is easy! pah!). The absurdity of this line of thought is overwhelming and narrow-minded, discouraging to those that work and produce in a different style. And so for this I am grateful to you for sharing your unique way of, not free-flowing self-expressing, but perhaps of getting to know yourself through your expression. . .? In any case, I love the effect of reading through someone else's struggle and finding insight for my own. Cheers. Threatens the dull blade, but does not bring it.

I read "Bird by Bird" long ago, probably in high school. I should read it again.... Right now I'm busy setting up the basement cave, which I'll share through photos soon. Diane, thanks for reading.
