J is for Just Start #atozchallenge

Creativity is a lifestyle for me, not an action. This month I'm exploring twenty-six quirky ways I keep my creativity flowing. 

There are times when the most creative thing I feel like doing is coming up with excuses as to why I'm not being more creative. It's during those times when I have to give myself a good pep talk and decide to Just start. It doesn't matter if I start out with junk that I'm going to get rid of later on, what matters is that I get out of the creative-less rut I've dug for myself.

Just starting instead allowing myself to continue in the wrong direction helps me to regain focus and spurs me on toward greater creativity. It's not always easy, but it's nearly always worth while.

I'm in Cancun, Mexico this week and I've spent a good portion of the day editing WLHYL and having a fantastic time doing so. I'm so excited about where this book is headed and am enjoying seeing it take shape and morph into an actual story. Thankfully my creativity is on full-blast and I'm getting a lot done.

This ^ is the view I had while editing this morning. It just so happens that having a glorious setting also helps my creativity flow. =)
