Hello, I'm RoxanneGay, your guest host for theweek.
Welcome to Radiohead Space and Welcome toThursday.
Today is my last day guest hosting and I want to thank you so much for hanging out with me thisweek.
I hope you feel a little more hopeful about creativepossibility.
I hope you're feelingexcited.
And I hope you're ready to introduce creativity into yourlife.
As awriter, there is nothing more invigorating than finding something you want to writeabout, something youlove, finding that flow and losing yourself in the creativeprocess.
I think this probably goes for any kind ofart, butlikewise, there's also nothing more frustrating than when you hit a creative wall when you are dealing with writer's block or any kind of creativeblock.
It has happened to me and recently it has certainly happened to my creativefriends.
If you arecreative, it's inevitably going to happen toyou.
And so today I'm going to share with you from my years of experience how to embrace creative ruts without judgment and try and find inspirationagain.
So I think I'm at the tail end of years of creative drought and it's been incredibly painful and incredibly frustrating not only tome, but to all of the editors waiting for my next severalbooks.
So I know of what Ispeak.
Certainly the primary thing that I now that I've had lots of time to think about it that caused a creative sort of rut that I'm in isburnout.
I published a lot over severalyears.
I was working non-stop and eventually the well does rundry.
Creativity islimitless, but sometimes you need toreplenish.
I started to notice that I was feeling burnt out when I would dread having to write something or when an editor would commission something forme.
And I knew that I probably had something tosay, but I didn't quite know what that thingwas.
I didn't know how to accessit.
Just sitting and staring at the computer for hours at atime, writing lots and lots of really bad writing and knowing it's bad and feeling completelyhelpless.
It has beenchallenging, but I'm starting to feel creative stirsagain.
I think that we can have all of the creative aspirations that we want and sometimes life gets in theway, no matter who youare, no matter how your life is setup.
Unexpected tragedies happen or grief can beoverwhelming.
Sometimes we go throughbreakups, we go through actually good things likemarriage, which is also in its way a very pleasantdistraction, but a distractionnonetheless.
It's a question of how do we balance the realities of ourlives, good and bad with the needs of our creativelives.
And I think most of us are always searching for thoseanswers.
I tried all kinds ofthings, like not sitting at thecomputer,staring.
I would go engage with other forms ofart, go to amuseum, go to amusical, go to aplay,whatever.
I could get other creative things and see if that sparksanything.
I did a lot of crossword puzzles alot.
Things that were just mindless andrecognizing,okay, you're not doing the work you want to do rightnow.
You can't necessarily do the work you want to do rightnow.
I think it was just a question oftime.
Fortunately, I have a great support system and people that would tell me it's going to come back even though I did not think itwould.
And now it's starting to come back and I think partly just like whatever was broken ishealing.
Andalso, I've justabout, youknow, about a month and a halfago, I just was looking at my appalling to-do list of things I need to get done and justrecognizing.
It's not going to get done unless I doit.
And so I'm just trying to approach it one thing at a time and to try and forget about the sortof, youknow, how they say likewhat?
Nine tenths of an iceberg is below thewater.
And so I'm focusing on the little bit that's above thewater.
The thing that everyone I know whose creative has in common is that theypersisted.
They were willing to make bad art until they could get back to making goodart.
Allright, that's all fortoday.
It's been an absolute pleasure to join you thisweek.
You can find my most recentbook,Opinions, in stores andonline.
And you can also check out my New York Times Opinion columns on the Opinion page and ofcourse, work friend in the businesssection.
