Creativity

We had a wonderful time at the Feminine Creative Process panel discussion. My co-panelists, RoseAnne Shansky and Kym Nicolas, had great insights about women's creativity, and the audience, who entirely filled the back room of the Blue Cow, had lots of great questions and comments. I hope we get the chance to do something similar again.


Lynne Scheible our moderator, asked us to define creativity at the beginning of the discussion. I referred to the nine ancient Greek muses, who supposedly inspired musicians, artists, and  poets, but who also inspired others, like mathematicians and scientists, who I really didn't consider "creative" before this panel. But, of course, they are--it's just a different kind of creativity. I think everyone is creative in some way or other--but not everyone is lucky enough to figure out where their creativity lies and how to access it.


What's your definition of creativity?
