--Productive creativity is an actual attempt and the artist puts his whole self into it.
--Originality is usually curiosity.
--Art can be mechanical. Without craft, creativity will escape.
--Blocks keep you from being creative. Everyone has blocks in their everyday life. Some examples of blocks  are facebook, television, reading, music, drinking, eating, shopping, sleeping, and playing video games.

Blocks are environmental, expressive, and physical. They are cultural and you can be faced with taboos (rules about where art should be, playfulness is for children, conformity is good, fear, etc.). Blocks can be also be emotional and intellectual because you see what you are supposed to see.
