Immersive Creative Careers: Social or Antisocial?

All creatives have immersive careers. We live in our own minds for long periods of time. We need to go to our office/home/studio wherever and just be on our own, away from people to think. That is creative work even though a brush isn’t on a canvas, words aren’t being produced, the stage is empty.Explaining this need to people wondering why we are leaving a party…or not showing up…always (often?) feels like we are complaining.Should we only hang out with other creative people?No.Being out in the world with other people fills the creative well. We need it.How do we find balance? How do we tell people what we need in a way that does not feel like complaining?Question for Listeners:* Are you a Spivak?* Do you thrive on socializing?* Or do you wish the world would stay behind the yellow tape you’ve put up?Buy us a Coffee and Win a Guide to World Domination!Here in the GU Clubhouse, we’ve gleaned and gathered incredible wisdom from our creative guests, whom we fondly call the Gifted Achievers.
