A child dances before she walks

sings before she talks

and draws before she writes.

Also your intro reminded me of when I spent 2 years writing and re-drafting my speech for my sister's wedding (I also wrote my dad's due to his lacking in english). Thanks for this deep and rich piece!

I really loved this piece. I've been focusing a lot on the nature of creativity, and I really appreciated (1) the historical insight into how the concept of "creativity" has evolved, (2) your three-part breakdown of modern definitions, and (3) your thoughts on how AI interacts with the modern creative process. Really beautiful work.

I really loved this article. There is a real difference between „created by me“ and „created for me“… food for thought 😍🎨🥳

I really appreciated this piece, thank you! I've been writing a fair bit about the idea that creativity is separate from the product, and your three-part division you've laid out here is a really nice schematic for allowing things to have different registers, without judging those differences right off the bat.

I'll build some of this into my next work!

It might go unnoticed, but it's really great that your essays don't just give you arguments, but ask good *questions* too. It opens up conversation. Super interesting read, especially on a topic I hold dear to my heart. We could really use more writing like this.

You're so right! Less of the drudgery means more time for the thinking that actually matters. I love this perspective!
