The Outside Angle: To-Go!
It's the same observations from the ground level - in a more packaged form! Reblogging is welcome. Check out the main blog too if you're interested.

This one isn’t from an article at The Outside Angle yet, but it’s something I wanted to get out there.

Example: When someone is given a high-paying position through a connection or a favor (not merit-based reasons) and they walk around acting as if they earned it or worked hard for it.
There is nothing wrong with being given something - but it is important to make sure to distinguish between what one was given (and therefore should be thankful for / make good use of) and what one has earned (and therefore should be proud of) - both for one’s own mentality and the image that one disseminates.
From the upcoming 3rd issue of the Mobility / Occupy Movement Behavior series.

So while digging around in my computer, I found something interesting!
A long time ago, a friend and I toyed with the idea of putting together a small book or series of articles that discussed a ground-level perspective of the psychology of being creative.
As part of getting together ideas for that task, we set out to interview people who were passionately engaged in an artistic endeavor. She knew mostly artists and photographers. I knew mostly writers, so I put together a set of questions for interviewing writers about their stories and what went into them.
Today, I found the list of questions that I had put together for the writers that I interviewed. Since the effort to put together the book has long been abandoned, I’m releasing the question list to you all!
The questions come in two categories: the first focuses on one of your stories in particular, and the second focuses on you as an author and your thought process.Pick a story of your own and fill it out to your liking, I’d be really interested to see what you’d have to say!
Pick and choose the questions you want to answer (don’t have to answer all of them) - I’d still be interested in your response even if not all of the questions are addressed!
The questions themselves are posted at TOA here.
Once you’re done, sumbit your answers via the ‘Message’ Tab here.

Perhaps its a little unorthodox, but I’m just a bit curious.
Could be about any of my articles or questions, about me, or about whatever. Don’t be shy! (Ask box)
