Today in the nightmarish Theater of Imagination at EPCOT Center in Disney World one learns that "creativity is fun," "creativity is easy," "anyone can be creative," and "have a nice day-- or else!" My personal experience at age twenty was that the source of creativity was pain. It was compulsive-addictive behavior borne of the need to wrench order from spiritual chaos. I'd love to see a cute lavender audio-animatronic dragon wrap its cute plastic lips around that.

I think of that quote every time I use the "creative" tag in the moods setting with it smiling kitty surrounded by colorful pawprints.

"Life *is* pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something." And if anyone is selling it, it's Disney...

I spent 2 decades being very "creative", I wrote prolifically, until I had written all the bile I could find from my soul. I don't write much anymore and I usually see that as a good thing.
