0 Your Elusive Creative Genius

Elizabeth Gilbert's TED talk, "Your Elusive Creative Genius" is focused on her work as a writer, but has powerful implications for all kinds of creative endeavors. This discussion imagines that creative genius manifests itself in the world around us, blowing by or visiting us capriciously. Even though it is just a tangential point to her larger narrative, my big take away from this discussion was that while inspiration can strike at any moment, it comes to us most frequently and most usefully, when we are working at our craft.
