It's like giving birth, isn't it. :) You spend all that time and energy and money creating this unique thing that has never existed before. Then you launch it into the world, where you're forced to learn to let it survive, or not, on it's own merits. And that's hard to do.

But then you start finding yourself being interested in the possibilities presenting themselves to you by doing it all again. And soon the last one has been forgotten and the next one has become your new life's obsession.

It's curse, really.

It's definitely a labor of love, that's for sure.

Fascinating title, but I'm not familiar with it.

It was a bit of a 'must read' for artists back in the late 70s when it came out. And was almost considered a 'taboo' subject at that time. The idea that creativity might be an expression illness, and a need for healing. (Especially in a generalized cultural sense.) It gave a lot of people involved in the arts serious pause.

It illuminates a whole new way of viewing someone like Andy Warhol, for example.

That's quite interesting! My therapist informed me just a few months ago that the genetic link between creativity and mental illness is now so well established that there are even professional associations of psychiatric workers dedicated to addressing it.

My 25 or so beta readers come from several countries around the earth. Most of them are highly creative, but many do not have access to quality mental health care in their own countries. About a year ago, I set up a program for them with my therapist to use his services free of charge to them if and when they felt any need to.
