Abstract
This paper explores how childhood experience, both positive or negative, might become “seeds” or earliest sources of subsequent creative activity in adult life. This is based on analysis of Ph.D. research data (Worth, 2000) and a case study in progress on the life of C. S. Lewis. The paper indicates contributions from influential adults and mentors during development as the sources of changes to personal and creative development. The dynamics observed within individual development reflected Wong’s (2012a) “PURE” and “ABCDE” model, and Wong and Worth’s (2017) paper on the Deep and Wide Hypothesis.
