#59: Nothing is Lost - Creative Abundance, Recycling Material, and the Unpublished Novels of Brandon Sanderson

To kick off the new year, let's talk about two ways of viewing and experiencing creativity — the first is scarcity, a white-knuckled clinging to ideas that constantly asks things like "What if the ideas run out?", "What if I never come up with anything better than this?", or "What if the inspiration goes away?" The second is abundance, a way of looking at the world that holds ideas loosely and says things like "There are more ideas than I'll ever be able to act on", "Something better is coming", and "Nothing I ever work on is wasted". In this week's episode, we'll look at those two viewpoints through the lens of musician Erothyme's musical archive and author Brandon Sanderson's thirteen unpublished novels. Material Mentioned in This Episode:#39: Erothyme - Developing a Musical Archive, Machine Learning & A.I.
