A different way to look at creative genius

Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

Neglect

OK, i have been bad about keeping up as of late. We did have two great Improv shows in the past week. I find myself starving for a project that I can sink my teeth into. I may have to get desperate and actually start on the cell phone film project. There is also a temptation to lose myself in a game of Civilization. Oh the dilemna!
