How are you creative?

View all responses

I write. I write poetry and short fiction. I also write diary type entries.

Writing is what I love. It is how I am creative.

I’ve always written for as long as I can remember. In childhood I’d make up stories, and write poems.

When I was being abused I wrote about it in a journal. I wrote poems to express my pain and my feelings about what I was going through.

On my blog I continue to write poetry, I write a mixture of poetry, some is about my struggles with mental illness, being an abuse survivor, a trauma survivor, others are about my pets, nature, etc.

My short stories are usually based on a writing prompt. I like to challenge myself to come up with a story for each writing prompt. Sometimes I’ll challenge myself to write a story in so many words, like for instance, 100 words, or 150 words.

I also read a lot. I learn so much from the books I read.

I’m not artsy, I mean, I don’t do crafts. I just write. And I’m happy being a writer.
