We Occasionally Offend People With Our Work
Unlike a school teacher, nurse, or lawyer, a highly creative person occasionally offends his or her friends or family with that creative work. Why? Well, it's mostly accidental, but sometimes a breakup, divorce, fight, or injury comes into that article, photo, song, or what have you.
What can we say? Life inspires us and it's how a highly creative person copes. As my marriage slowly and painfully disintegrated, my heart flooded to the paper or web, so to speak, and infiltrated my comedy routine.
Your friend might grab a beer when his wife leaves him, but you, the creative person, break out your camera or whatever other artistic tool suits your mood.
