Creativity, creativity, I’m just loaded with that.

The Insecure Writer’s Support Group topic of the month is…(Drum roll please)

How has your creativity evolved since you began writing?

I think my writing discipline has become more, well, disciplined.  I’m still easily distracted…oh look what’s on facebook…um yes, as I was saying.

At one point I found it very easy to carve a time of the day for writing.  It was the only time of the day that I could call my own.  I was teaching, so school time and the hours immediately after were out.  I had a small son, so after the afterschool hours and supper and aftersupper activity time, and bathtime and reading before bed time were also out.  Which left the hours after 8pm and when ever I went to bed, which could be mid-night if I was really into what I was writing.

But this doesn’t address the question.  What about creativity.  I feel the more you write the more creative you become.  So as I spent more evenings writing, I was dreaming up more ideas to incorporate in the writing or try.  First person narrative, I’m talking about you.  Or what if there was a world populated with SOME people who are telepathic, not everyone, but some and they kind of naturally rise to positions of power?   And after you’ve read enough romances, you think you can write one, and if one, why not another?

I guess this is all to say that, as I write more, I have expanded my creativity by being willing to try writing different genres and points of view.
