Inner space

Maisel and others argue that there's no creativity without space.

Inner space, as well as physical space; mental space, emotional space.

Whilst recognising the creative potential of deadlines, panic, and constraints, there also seems to be a suggestion that there can be no creativity in a rush.

The crush, tiny moment, force approach perhaps works at times, or for a while. To sustain itself, though, I suspect that it needs to be fed, ultimately, with a different kind of food.
