"Talent is a dull knife that will cut nothing unless it is wielded with great force – a force so great that the knife is not really cutting at all but bludgeoning and breaking. Discipline and constant work are the whetstones upon which the dull knife of talent is honed until it becomes sharp enough, hopefully, to cut through even the toughest meat and gristle."
- Stephen King from DANSE MACABRE
Consider the talent you bring to your life. When did you first discover a way with creativity? Did it involve curiosity, a love of energies that collided, meshed, and made their appearance into your talent?
In what ways did you pursue ideas with all your senses? What pushed you in a variety of creative directions?
In what ways did you pursue ideas with all your senses? What pushed you in a variety of creative directions?
Who recognized your propensity for a talent and showed you ways to pursue it?
How did you push past frustrations and dead ends to gather the necessities that shouted your talent?
Develop a metaphor that defines your process.
