"I've just got to work on my craft..." is a phrase I've heard a LOT. But for a certain kind of artist, I've always felt it misses the point. Or at least, is only a part of the point, and a part which is in service of another part. This other part is what I'd call "THE ACTUAL POINT"! So what's the difference between Art and Craft? What is "THE ACTUAL POINT"?

If what defines humans is we create something new out of something old, then the creative process is the method we use to do this. But so many people say they're not creative because they don't understand that creativity is how we solve problems. Without problems, our creativity is not required. Without problems, there is nothing new. Without problems, there's no path to walk. Problems are what fuel your creativity. Don't avoid them! Jump into them.
