There a large number of things I'd like in order to do creatively. There are people I follow which have these amazing, creative skills at organizing things in beautiful ways. People that use their creative energy to generate paintings and jewelry. I have friends which can be photographers, chefs, sewing experts, craft makers, holiday decorating artists (like my Mom!) and in some cases sisters that weave timeless and meaningful stories through movies. Hard as I try (and I do!) I just don't hold these types of creativity.

I so want to be a painter, a baker, as well as a candlestick maker (hah) - but I just don't started using it. I'm finally visiting embrace and celebrate my very own version of creativity. Which I have a good amount of it, but it really manifests itself in ways which might be personal in my opinion.

In nevertheless, I are already thinking around the ways that creativity flows beyond me and I'm gonna try to focus more intently on spreading my creativity over these ways to keep growing. The idea being that attempting to use my creativity within a million different outlets only weakens my creative juice within the places that I actually love and revel in. So by limiting my scope of creative projects - this will likely (hopefully) give loan to bigger, brighter, and new ideas for projects that I really like doing. Like, us yearbook. Definitely not a paintbrush sweeping across a canvas kind of creativity, but it really's my weird means of organizing our purposes memories and taking stock products a beautiful year we've despite how quick and sometimes difficult it appears to be. I'm currently completing our 2013 yearbook for a extra time I've specialized in it - I am really loving the outline (by categories vs. It is a labor of love, my pals.

I painstakingly choose and go through photos, customize layouts, create captions, and add stickers. It is time intensive and externally appears slightly psychotic. Brandon said for me, "It looks awesome, but is it not so much tedious work," And the response is yes it can be - but it really is work I honestly passion for some weirdo reason. I love picking out the themes that weave our year together on and on back throughout the photos to view how much joy, love, and laughter fill our days although year is fully gone in what appears like blinks.

I also love planning. Like love planning using a strange obsession. It makes me so happy and feel so energized to generate a plan for the long term. Like a little hug for my future self that can bring her and our household something memorable. Maybe planning will not seem entirely creative - but it really feels creative in my experience!

I have already been working on organizing a Superhero 5K Family Fun Run (with obstacles) for your CV Alumni Association and planning out our Summer Roadtrip Vacation. What's possible vs. what seems awesome but probably over-ambitious, And lastly, really the one that brings me first and foremost the things that originate from creativity: joy, pride, frustration, challenges, and peace is writing.

Writing here around the blog, in some instances (very far and few between) posts for other blogs, and intensely minimally in many books that I'm working away at a novel as well as a mom/memoir book. I know that you have two ways in which I am about to continue convalescing at writing and make the creative door open to ensure I don't hit a roadblock (or possibly a self-induced "I'm bad enough" block). The first should be to Read.

Read books that I like and do not like at a writer's perspective. Books within my genre and from my genre. Blogs by people who's writing inspires me.. And the second is always to actually write. Just keep writing; at all times. Jotting down flashes of inspiration for stories or scenes for my novel.

Jotting down memories for my mom/memoir book. Sitting down and writing for 20-30 minutes each day somewhere - inside a journal, about the blog, anywhere. I just should keep writing. My own personal problem with writing non-blog posts is I feel like everything must be perfect (or near that) because blog writing has unofficially trained me to create things resemble I want it before pressing save.

This is not how one writes a memoir or novel. It takes a lot of just writing the darn thing and after that going back through and revising 64 thousand times. Which I am continually frustrated to go away a particular scene or segment if I don't feel good about it. But more practice and writing will (hopefully) assist me learn to just have it down.
