It seems to me that my fear and my creativity are basically conjoined twins -- as evidenced by the fact that creativity cannot take a single step forward without fear marching right alongside it. Fear and creativity shared a womb, they were born at the same time, and they still share some vital organs. This is why we have to be careful of how we handle our fear -- because I've noticed that when people try to kill of their fear, they often end up inadvertently murdering their creativity in the process.
