Unlike the other TED talks that I have watched, where most of the speakers are designers, Amy Tan is a Chinese novelist which surprised me a lot because it was the first time I've watched a TED Talk featuring a female + Chinese + novelist.
Amy shares her creative process during writing, how she handles her "writer's block" by not giving up and looking for the silver lining in nothing. This gives me some encouragement when I am stuck in my design process, worrying too much about everything and ending up doing nothing.
Amy also makes the talk much more relevant to me by using some examples that Chinese people can associate with that hinders creativity.
I really enjoyed her talk and how she treats writing as a journey, instead of boring pieces of work. I feel that I should treat my works as a journey, a journey of self-exploration towards the end point of my best self.
