Creativity is a lifestyle for me, not an action. This month I'm exploring twenty-six quirky ways I keep my creativity flowing.
My imagination is wild and highly active. Most of my books have started out as little ideas planted in my brain when I'm doing a routine task that I turn into something exciting by pretending it's something different.
Milking the goats? It's back in the Medieval Ages and I've been sent on a mission to find the lost princess who is rumored to live as a slave. I work at farms along the way to earn enough food to stay alive.
Cooking? I have a cooking show and I have to explain how the ingredients mix together just right and how the every-day items are going to turn into a masterpiece for the tastebuds.
Cleaning the house with my little brother? We're in a castle and I'm the queen, he's the princess. We're in one of our smaller castles so he can learn the necessary art of menial tasks so he always appreciates his servants who normally perform them. (Plus of course we have to spend along secret messages and make sure to keep the castle safe.)
And I could go on and on. What are some ways you use your imagination?
