Elizabeth Gilbert quotes in one of her talks titled 'Creativity ' about a Poet who works in a farm. When creativity strikes her, she rushes to her house to collect her thoughts and jot it down. If she ignores the call and continuous working, it seems it takes a very long time for her to catch the wtiters spirit. She strongly advises people on the verge of creative borderline to catch the spirit and not feign ignorance. It seems the idea searches for the right mother. Hence when it strikes you, you might have anxiousness, various emotional signs. 

Mine is one such experience.  I was in a hurry that day to complete my daughters drawing just before 30mts of her drawing class. I just finished right in time, when I looked at it something awesome happened. The picture looked so perfect. The bug caught me then. I allowed it and started it to use me as a medium. I drew my first drawing of my second innings( The first was in my youth). I took time almost 3 days to select the perfect debutante pic.

The portrait of Windows always caught my fascination. The interface to the entire outside world squeezed into a small frame offering a plethora of inputs for your creative mind even as as you stay within your comforts. 

My motto was not to allow any feedback to dampen my spirits. 

Here as the ancient Romans used to address it as a separate entity, not mixing in with their individuality. So, not only can you attribute your success to it but also can blame 'it' for the failure. Allowing artists to move on with a next work.

And 2nd, 3rd , 4th....
