Thank you so much for providing an incredible, inspiring set of tools for writing and speaking in a constructive, goal-driven manner. Will Self (Self-Will) just about says it all about being a creative artist. KUDOS!!! PS I keep a notebook, writing the words he uses to enhance my apparent limited vocabulary. Each one a gem for a new universe.
Surely the key to creative writing is creative thinking. Once one has recognized that then one must have at one's disposal an intelligent definition and description of creative or what is actually denoted by the term "creation". Then one can say, with absolute certainty that one is writing in a manner that can truly be regarded as creative.
You don't necessarily need to be a wordsmith to write. E.g. Voltaire's 'simple fairy tale' "Candide" or the many stories - Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Arabic etc. - passed down to us that, for all their age, translations and interpretations, remain redolent with meaning ... 😉
This is liquid gold, why only 122 views???
Agree, I respected Will Self for a while. To answer your question, because people are distracted by Tin.
LooOOOooVe Will Self! Tried to be creative with the word Love.
Will Self is never boring
I don't think you can quite equate having a child, although men often do, with creating some form of [saleable] product of imagination.

22 minutes in the mind of a great genius is 22 minutes well spent.
"Talent develops in quite places, character in the full current of human affairs."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ( 1749 - 1832 )
quoting great people is like embedding their greatness in your own sets of morals and perceptions. Good Job Sherlock!!!

I'd very much like to hear Will Self's views upon the late, great Anthony Burgess.

I find, in our lifetimes, we inevitably ask, what is the ‘self’?
