The Spirit of Creativity
summary
Covers concrete actions: wrote 15 short stories (3–4k words each), hires editors and an illustrator, and plans a small press that experiments with a 60% royalty option when authors share editing/design risk; contrasts transient work (old games, bank systems) with durable fiction. Gives hands‑on methods: the tombstone exercise, writing positive and negative reviews, and negative brainstorming plus Six Thinking Hats and blind storytelling as workshop tools. Argues social media and ad‑driven AI erode creative space and offers productivity techniques to reclaim it.
