On Creative Productivity and Risk-Taking

“Every single time I have finished writing something, I am sure that this is my one and only time of landing on a good idea and executing it successfully and that I will never, ever repeat it.” Even after decades at the top of her field, that’s how The New Yorker’s Susan Orlean thinks about the highs and lows of the creative process. In this course from Knowable, Orlean draws from her storied career as a journalist and bestselling novelist to teach lessons in creative ideation, productivity, and risk-taking so that the "blank page" never gets the best of you. Learn how Orlean conquers creator’s block, fights back against uncertainty, and embraces reinvention to produce great work consistently — and how you can, too.
