For instance, maybe there was another character in your story who was supposed to be your romantic interest, but he got killed off by the guy with the knife before anything interesting happened. Our first instinct is to say: bad luck! Let's just bring him back to life and keep going as if nothing had happened.

Creative Reality

Creative Reality Well, I had a thought about this. The fundamental problem is that people want a creative reality, not a real reality. They want it to be creative like a novel or a movie, with interesting plots and dialog, and also creative like when you doodle something and make it up as you go along. I'm afraid you're going to have to settle for just one of those. You can have an interesting, made-up reality, or you can have a real one.

For instance, maybe there was another character in your story who was supposed to be your romantic interest, but he got killed off by the guy with the knife before anything interesting happened. Our first instinct is to say: bad luck! Let's just bring him back to life and keep going as if nothing had happened. But if we do that, the story won't be about how things really are; it will be about how we wish things were. The most dangerous thought you can have as a creative person is to think you know what you're doing. It makes you inflexible, hides the holes in your reasoning, and makes it harder to improve your technique. The most valuable thing you can have as a creative person is a beginner's mind. Beginners are free of mental habits. They approach things with wonder and delight, as though they were brand new every time they saw them. Which, of course, they are; we just get used to them too fast.
