New Penn State research finds AI doesn't level the creative playing field—it preserves existing gaps. High performers before AI access remain high performers after. Baseline creativity and intelligence explained 40% of AI-assisted output quality.

Colleagues, what are your favorite mid-to-long form articles and essays about #writing and #creativity

I’m teaching a new upper-level seminar on writing and creativity. We’ll be thinking about topics like process, inspiration, cognition, collaboration, and tech tools (generative AI, but not only that).

Chapters from Anne Lamott’s *Bird by Bird* and Liz Gilbert’s *Big Magic* are already on my radar. What else do you suggest? What authors or creators’ reflections on their own work do you love to read?

This is resonating with me this morning as I research building an #apparel company (‘brand’ makes me vomit) and #designing #merch. More specifically: what kind of merch I want to make.

I am not a fan of the ‘learn & follow trends’ advice for selling merch. I can’t relate to it and I’ve abhorred being ‘trendy’ for decades because it’s dependent on external judgement.

I’m looking at all the artists I love, seeing the (obvious) commonalities between them, and working on improving specific skills & techniques.
