2) Creative effort

There is really no division between critical effort and creative effort. Every true creator before expressing or fixing into form whatever he is moved to by inspiration, exercises the best critical faculty in him to determine what is genuinely inspired and what is mixed and then only completes his effort. The critic in him has to keep peace with the creator.
