The Myth of The Starving Artist

March 6, 2014 Boonie Sripom

I heard a couple talking about writers and their perceptions of having a story to tell.

The woman nodded her head, and said, "I know, right? They're so whiny, and think they're so special."

I ate my ravioli, and thought of my response to their words.

These were my thoughts in elementary school.

Re: How Our Brains Work Creatively | Bell Beth Cooper

I am a new fan of her writing! She succinctly supports her writing with neuroscience findings, and I agree with the discrepancy of being a right-brained or left-brained person. There is no distinct brain hemisphere correlations to creative or logical behaviors; however, I think describing behaviors as left or right-brained can help facilitate intentional neural rewiring.
