Dispatches from the front lines. I hit that goal: What do I do now? I’m here. Now what? It’s really weird how it happens. I’m on top of the mountain and things never look the same/. It’s always fun nailing a big goal or finishing that huge project, but then I have no idea what I’m supposed to do next. My own career track — and later my frelance pattern — runs something like this:. 1) Work like a deranged beaver toward some goal. 2) Achieve said goal. 5) Not giving a rip. Suggests it’s not just me:. Exerc...

Dispatches from the front lines. What Ornette Coleman taught about the creative process. Nut graf: Ornette Coleman faced a lot of obstacles on the way to becoming a jazz giant. Ornette Coleman (photo by Geert Vandepoele. Licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0 via Wikimedia Commons). The first time I heard the late Ornette Coleman play, I knew it was the drugs. His, not mine. I mean, just what is this guy thinking of? One incident remained deeply ingrained in his memory: The night circa 1950 when the saxophonist was...

Dispatches from the front lines. Author, novelist, recovering print journalist. Recently "came out" as an alien and most people believe it. From Riverside, CA but Charleston SC is home no matter what the Californians say. This is your brain … this is your brain on multitasking. Let’s see … working at the computer. While on the phone. While listening to something. Good luck with that. I think it was in the 1980s or 90s when McDonalds tried to expand its dinner menu. With pizza. If you’re the creativ...

Dispatches from the front lines. Self-comparison is not a fair fight. Nut graf: I already know I’m not as good as the masters, but does it really matter? I can’t compare myself with somebody else until I’ve been through his trash. Of course I fall into the trap of comparing myself to others. It’s an occupational disease that any creator in good standing can tell you about. What would you find? Besides the whiskey bottles and cigarette butts you’ll find pages and pages of handwritten or typed work&#...

A slight rebrand and some mop-up … | The Creativity Wars
http://creativity.ericpulsifer.com/a-slight-rebrand-and-some-mop-up/2015/06
Dispatches from the front lines. A slight rebrand and some mop-up …. You might have noticed some changes with this site. Like maybe it took you a while to find it. Then, the name change. And if you care about such things, the Web addy is also different. Let’s attack these in order. I am getting rid of the creativeanddangerous.com domain name because it’s really kind of redundant. Why not just put the blog under my main website and let the subdomains fall where they may? You vs. Resistance. You vs. you.
