Fair enough, but surely being a professional musician would mean you are in a creative environment consistently rather than sporadically like us hobbiests, which would suggest that the creativity is flowing constantly rather than sporadically? Also you would possibly be able to grow as a musician to be able to push the boundaries further than if you were doing the music thing in your spare time.
Interesting take on things though.
Matt, that is my way of thinking, exactly!
Professional musicians often have less time to be truly creative - if you fund your life other ways you are free to express yourself musically any way you like.
