I don&#8217;t think college is a good place for writers. It&#8217;s a great danger to creativity. I think a lot of professors are too stubborn, snobby, and intellectual. Being intellectual can be horribly dangerous for creativity at times. It&#8217;s also trying to rationalize and &#8220;This danger increases even more when we try to relate it to reasons. However, there is no such limit in writing. I have been writing regularly on my typewriter for 25 years. When I sit down to write, I don&#8217;t think, I feel. Acting rationally is the biggest factor that destroys these feelings.&#8221;<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bradbury-advocated-for-young-people-to-create-their-own-reality\"><\/span>Bradbury advocated for young people to create their own reality.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage coverImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-799\/5elo8i.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">What needed to be done was to actively bring emotions to the fore while doing the creative work.

In the creative process, just like in a relationship, you start to get to know yourself better.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Therefore, when it comes to creativity, personal facts can get ahead of rational facts.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bradbury-cited-the-character-Guy-Montag-from-Fahreneit-451-as-an-example\"><\/span>Bradbury cited the character Guy Montag from Fahreneit 451 as an example.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-799\/v3pzhc.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Bradbury likened the character to himself. The fact that he got to know himself better and brought out his suppressed emotions thanks to character creation also confirms the view he defends.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">According to Carl Jung&#8217;s analytical psychology, the shadow archetype represents the &#8220;dark side&#8221; of your personality. It is a spiritual realm where the most primitive part of you resides.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Selfishness, repressed instincts, and the &#8220;unauthorized&#8221; self that your conscious mind rejects is the part that is buried in the deepest recesses of your being.<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"3264820100\"><\/ins><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Returning to Bradbury, he used the condition as therapy and thought it fueled his creativity:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;After completing one of my short stories, I started to cry. I realized that there were feelings that I had buried inside for many years and that I had been dragging myself from myself unexpectedly and without thinking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editors-Note-and-Final-Thoughts\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/12.0.0-1\/svg\/270d.svg\" alt=\"\u270d\" \/> Editor&#8217;s Note and Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">No matter how important rationality and logic are, when it comes to creativity, according to Bradbury, we should not stereotype our minds with reason.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Even if we are adults, we continue to live our imagination in the depths of our selves. Sometimes we have to create our own reality and get to know ourselves even better in the process. In this way, we can not limit our thoughts to patterns and allow our minds to roam freely.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;There are worse crimes than burning books.
