5 Tips to Nurture the Writer's Best Friend
Creativity and I have been friends for years. But, we don’t always get
along. Sometimes I’d call our relationship sort of love-hate. Yet, as a writer,
I need creativity. Without it, I can’t write at all. With only a smidgen of
creativity, I can’t write well.
When I’m trudging along on some writing project, I feel like my
creativity forgot to show up for our appointed meeting time. When I get stuck
in a big way, unable to write or think of ideas, I wonder if my creativity has
died. If it were still alive, it should be by my side, helping me write,
shouldn’t it?
At such times, I tend to panic and wonder if my creativity is gone for
good. What if it never comes back and I’ve lost the ability to write forever?
