Creativity is serious business. I agree with Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way: actually expressing your creativity is more about focus and discipline than it is about inspiration. Yes, it’s wonderful when work seems ‘truly inspired’, but that says nothing of the 15 drafts that went into an article or novel you love.
For someone as well-defined as you are, it is surely easy to lose yourself in what other people think, or what group dynamics demand.

With an eye to the interplay between the rapid cycling inner planets and the slow-moving outer planets, Len Wallick notes that part of finding your way is determining a middle ground between foreground and background, selecting what to focus on at any given moment, without compartmentalizing your life.
