“Creativitry," writes legendary playwright Stan Lai in the preface to his new book of that name, "Doesn’t exist as a word. Just as all creative things do not exist -- until they do.
"Rhymes with Artistry, and Chemistry, and Sorcery.
"The know-how, practice and mastery of creativity."
The overlap, undercurrents and interplay of creativity and curiosity come up a lot here, which only heightened my delight at being joined by creativity master Stan Lai, known as “the major contemporary Asian playwright of his time...perhaps of all time."

Ep. #289: Getting to the Heart: Curiosity & Ghost Writing, with Laura Zigman
How does a ghost writer get to the juiciest heart of their subject?
Laura Zigman is the author of six novels and has ghostwritten and/or collaborated on multiple memoirs and non-fiction books. We have fun talking about writing with someone -- not about them -- and getting their voice right; the line between curiosity and nosiness; compassion, empathy, trust and asking questions with kindness; respecting boundaries; and the honor of hearing another's stories.
