Perhaps, but it's important to find the right axe for your particular sea. Otherwise you'll waste time trying to cut through fathoms of ice with a plastic toy axe instead of the high-speed drilling equipment you need.

The choice ought to be influenced most by what you do with the rest of your life. If you're anal retentive, pedantic arts like calligraphy aren't going to hack it, so to speak. Likewise, a free spirit isn't going to get too much mileage out of abstract splatter painting.

It's all about trying to get to the inside of your mind from a different direction, where the defenses aren't built up so high, and releasing the creativity within.

Find your axe, and start hacking.
