What we call creative work, ought not to be called work at all, because it isn't. I imagine that Thomas Edison never did a day's work in his last fifty years.

Work is the opposite of creativity.
Most creative work is a process of people passing ideas and inspirations from the past into the future and adding their own creativity along the way.
After so many years, I've learned that being creative is a full-time job with its own daily patterns. That's why writers, for example, like to establish routines for themselves.
I believe in creative work.
And unless you have that sense of being creative, people think you're just working all the time.
Creativity is a highfalutin word for the work I have to do between now and Tuesday.
In all fields of creativity you see the result of work that has become habit. Where the creative impulse has become flaccid or has died out altogether, and yet because it is our work and our life we continue to do it.
The nature of creativity is to make space for things to happen... We can drive it out with our busyness and plans.
To me, creative work is labor, like any other kind of labor. It's got value, and it takes your time, and it's useful to people, depending.
Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.
