I’m not sure which is a bigger expression of ego: to believe that your creative work is an expression of genius or to believe that creativity is a receptor of something special God sends just to you, and therefore by extension your work is an expression of God. (That is the logical end to her thinking here, right?) Nevertheless, Elizabeth Gilbert has some interesting thoughts about creativity and how to keep from being emotionally squashed by your own work. Plus she’s just so darn likable.
