In praise of creating crap

annie's blog:

The value of creativity is not in the quality of what you create. The value is in the act of creativity itself. The value is in the energy you spend, and the fact that you spend that energy bringing something into being rather than tearing something (or someone) apart.

It's inverse vandalism. About which Annie says:

Something did not exist. You made it exist. You are a god.

How do you do, fellow gods?

Via Christof.

Annie also writes:

If you pick up the guitar gathering dust in the corner and pluck a few strings and hum a few notes, you have been creative.

I've been feeling the itch lately. I think tonight will be the night.
