Sorry, my previous comment did not include the quote.

It comes from creativity expert Mark Runco and is defined as “judicious freedom of thought”. . . .

I second that. I have just made a post with similar content, only maybe from the other perspective, on a blog I just started. You can read it here – http://inaweofwonder.wordpress.com/2012/06/13/understanding-your-creative-environment-part-1a/.

I am happy to say that I am an artist who uses GTD and I tend to agree with your post above. I think the argument from artists about structure can be said to be somewhat analogous to the argument from musicians for not learning theory to make for less constraints and so on. Indeed it is possible that you will make good music without learning theory, but for the vast majority of us some little theory will only improve our music and will be essential if we ever to make music that is ‘good’.

It is no good having all your good ideas floating off, irretrievable, into the forgotten.

Sign up you reprobates!!! :-p

I guess the kicker is that most artists reading this will already be using GTD. I will add a link from my post in the hope of sending some your way.
