The artistic experience

[Louanne Learning]

I’ll continue this thread for those who would like to talk about the artistic experience.

Here’s a different take on the writing process – Rudyard Kipling referred to it as his “inner Deamon” –

He recounts -

My Daemon was with me in the Jungle Books, Kim, and both Puck books, and good care I took to walk delicately, lest he should withdraw. I know that he did not, because when those books were finished they said so themselves with, almost, the water-hammer click of a tap turned off.

And he advises -

When your Daemon is in charge, do not try to think consciously. Drift, wait, and obey.

Can you relate to this metaphor?

No, you won't.
