Creative Writing

Creativity is what makes us human.  Since the dawn of modern man, it’s been our creativity that has brought us to where we are today.  They say necessity is the mother of invention.  But I believe that creativity is the mother of identity.  Our earliest ancestors set themselves apart from the rest of the animal kingdom through their creative ideas.

Many people don’t believe they have a creative bone in their bodies.  I’m not buying it.  Everybody is good at something, and when you’re good at something, you tend to find creative ways to work with it.  Carpenters find creative ways to brighten up a home.  Farmers find creative ways to work their fields.  Athletes find creative ways to make the game more interesting.

As creative writers, we have the best of both worlds.  Not only do we have the ability to find creative ways to express our emotions, we can create whole new worlds.  We can create ways to promote ourselves and we can create ways to vent our frustrations.  We can create fantasies for the world to share.

One of the greatest creations in the history of man was when we created a system of writing.  It gave us the power to communicate, to motivate, and to assimilate our way through the ages.  So tell me, my friend, what do you create?
