A Little Creativity

Creativity, it's in all of us.  It's just a matter of Taking A Moment to let it out.

There once was a time where I couldn't stop being creative.  I found this fulfilling joy in writing.  I loved to write stories and lyrics.  Thoughts would come to me that I couldn't wait to write down.

I never knew where these random thoughts came from, they would just come to me.

This creativity however slowly began to wane.  Over the past year or so I have struggled with my creativity.  Almost as if it had disappeared completely.

I feel empty without it.  Like a part of me is missing.  I try to write, but the thoughts don't come like they used to.  I'm not entirely sure why this has happened.  I miss it desperately.

My IPP (Independent Professional Project) that I am doing for school is all about creativity.  I've chosen to write my novel that I have been terrified to write.  Maybe terrified is the wrong word, more like nervous.  Nervous that it wont be any good and that I'll fail at my dream to become a published author.

This has been my dream since I first read Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. The words written by J.K. Rowling captivated me and ever since then I wanted to be a writer.

Yet here I am, unsure of my creativity. Stuck in this inability to write.

I'm hoping that this IPP will be the push I need to be creative again and find that missing piece in me.

We all have the ability to be creative. It's about Taking That Moment to no longer be afraid and to just try.

I have, what I call an honour, to listen to this band that two of my fellow CreCommers are in.  Seeing that depth and the creativity flow within the room lit a spark in me to try again. To push myself to do the thing that I love.  I have a voice and I need to stop being afraid to let it be heard.

So Take A Moment to find the one thing that you love, that you are passionate about, and just go for it. Don't let fear of failure hold you back.
