The Creative Well

Photo by Maxime Bouffard on Unsplash I was first introduced to the idea of the "creative well" by some writers I follow. The concept basically says that creating art involves both drawing from this well and also doing things that fill the well. There is this cycle of using your resources and replenishing them. I don't know how close the creative well concept comes to explaining the blessing that is making art, but I empathise with much of the thought behind it. Sometimes I feel full of ideas, and other times I feel very dry. I have experienced first-hand the way experience changes what I write about, how I write, how I see things. Yet, if I am honest, I anticipate a risk of the creative well analogy. I run the risk of procrastinating, failing to write anything because of perfectionism - if I can just keep filling the well, this piece of work may be better. Indeed, my ability may improve over time. Nevertheless, I want to see writing as an act of vulnerability and service
