Unleashing the Mysteries of Creative Expression
The craft of writing is undeniably a form of creative expression, but what exactly does it mean to be creative?
True creativity stems from both internal and external sources, as the mind's capacity for creative thought is constantly being influenced by the surrounding environment and the accumulated knowledge stored within our brains.
However, creativity is not something that can be forced or summoned on command. Rather, it is a mysterious and fleeting concept that arises unexpectedly from the depths of our subconscious minds. This is why many artists and writers often find it helpful to establish a set time and place to work, as it can provide a conducive environment for creativity to flourish.
Nonetheless, creativity cannot be artificially manufactured through sheer force of will or a rigid schedule. Instead, it is an organic process that arises from within us, growing and developing on its own, spurred on by our innate curiosity and desire for play. In essence, creativity is not something we can fully control or predict; it is a spontaneous and ever-evolving force that drives us forward in our creative pursuits.
