For Shekhar Kapur, it seems to be sheer panic.

I can’t help but agree, and I find myself wishing that my creativity came from a calmer, perhaps more organized place. So I’m wondering, is it like this for all of us? Where does your creativity come from?

Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me. I got to New Orleans before I turned 30!
It made me ache to write, but unable to slow down long enough to pen a single word. I ate chicken livers for the first time. I’d go back just for the chicken livers. Truly, New Orleans is a city for writers to visit with their senses wide open. And, Oh…to live there! Where else can you walk down the same street twice in one day and hear these two sentences:
“That’s the street where I saw them lizards doing the oral sex.”
“Those are the fetuses you never see.”
The story ideas are everywhere. There are robots, pantsless guitar players, and cute girls with bike powered tamale carts. There’s even a fuzzy haired poet with a typewriter and a sign offering “Fresh Poems for Sale” amid the drunk throng on Bourbon Street. I’m in love.
Other things I love! You will love them too, I bet.

A non-lame publisher for children’s books? Really? Yes!
A literary magazine for The Splinter Generation.
This documentary made me cry out loud like a toddler. It’s…necessary.
When Google does something cool.
This video will make you feel weird.
Enjoy!
