Good article. While I agree overall, I disagree with the author on the subject of free will. Becoming obsessed with a creative process is in my experience not a lack of a free will but a deliberate wielding of inner creativity. There is flow and exploration. That flow has been built up over time, by reflections, experiences and inspiration. It is not something that happens to the artist, but rather a storm they have conjured and created over time, a storm they can direct and become one with.
