A few weeks ago, we recorded a conversation about what is generally considered the nucleus of any creative endeavor: inspiration.
But is that consideration really accurate or is there a chicken-or-the-egg argument to be had? In other words: does inspiration always spark the creative expression or can creative expression also spark the inspiration? We wondered and pondered on that a little bit.
We also discussed the interesting (or frustrating) fact that we tend to be inspired by similar things much of the time. Moreover, Bram gave Jeroen some more insight in the benefits of archiving unpublished creative work and collecting inspirational objects.
Some other subjects we touched on: the effect an audience can have on inspiration, the importance of attention and 'waiting for the muse versus feeding the monster'.
