You grow ravenous. You run fevers. You know exhilarations. You can't sleep at night, because your beast-creature ideas want out and turn you in your bed. It is a grand way to live.
In "Zen in the Art of Writing," Ray Bradbury conveys the intense passion and eagerness that comes with the creative process. He describes how the desire to create can become overwhelming, leading to restless nights filled with ideas bursting to be expressed. This fervor is intrinsic to living a full artistic life, where the urge to unleash one's creativity can feel like a fierce drive.
Bradbury emphasizes that while this state can evoke feelings of anxiety and sleeplessness, it ultimately leads to exhilaration and joy in the act of creation. Embracing the struggle and fervor of this creative beast is portrayed as a fulfilling experience, reflecting the profound connection between the artist and their craft.
