I am now forced to be as creative if not more creative on a dailly basis. For example article writing has many problems that may be different in character and comparatively 'easier' than say dissertation writing but they still demand the same creative thought process. It is a change in the ebb and flow of intensity, too. Many small thoughts versus a few big ones. Reconciling the inherent creative labour of writing and basic journalistic practice and the inherent conservatism of the commercial side of the creative industries is also difficult to accept. ut that is a question of old fashion Ka-POWAH! Actually that would make for an awesome t-shirt! A pop-art style Michel Foucault head with a Batman-esque KA-POWAH with "...is everywhere."

I manage more than that fine, and I would wager so do many other people. Attributing your personal experience to the wider public is poor argument at best.
