In our From Scratch for 50 Days: A Creativity Challenge, we are challenging you to do something creative and share it with us every day for 50 days. To get you all sorts of pumped up and inspired, we're bringing you fellow creators' words of wisdom. Read, enjoy, and get creating, Wellers. Our next words of wisdom come from Benjy. He's a brilliant freelance stage director currently associate directing The Glass Menagerie on Broadway. You have one more week to see this beautiful piece of work that Benjy helped to craft. As far as I'm concerned, Benjy will one day be considered "one of the greats" - so enjoy what he has to say about creativity:

What is creativity?

The ability to be unexpectedly inspired.

When do you feel the most creative?

When I am spontaneous and uninhibited. And sometimes when I have planned every detail in advance, and that it all unfolds as I'd imagine.

Do you consider creativity a necessity or a bonus?

Both. When it's easy, it feels like breathing (necessity), and when it's hard, I feel lucky to have arrived at a creative place (bonus).

Find out more about Benjy.

We start February 19th. You in?
