Amy Tan: Where Does Creativity Hide?

on January 8, 2010 - 9:57am

"Novelist Amy Tan digs deep into the creative process, journeying through her childhood and family history and into the worlds of physics and chance, looking for hints of where her own creativity comes from. It's a wild ride with a surprise ending."

While she focuses many of her points toward the experience of a writer, I believe she raises some interesting ideas for all creative people (especially in the first half of the video).

The second half gets more...existential. But it's still interesting because it shows her process of creating, plus asks all those questions about opportunity and luck, and how success might all come down to being focused and then seeing the opportunities all around you (be it for work or in life).

I thought it might be interesting for fellow 'creatives' that read this blog.
