“True creativeness is finding new possibilities in old situations.” – J. G. Saxe
The creative process of writing, editing and preparing your manuscript for the marketplace may feel like an ending, like sending your only child off to college. Yet, there is no end to the journey. It is a beginning.
Since you are a writer, you are aware of the joys of creative thinking and living the writer’s life. Someone once called writing disciplined spontaneity.
A friend, Dr. Ken Gill, has a list of some attributes of creative people. Perhaps he is thinking of his lovely artist wife, Connie: “Creative people value the beauty of truth and the truth of beauty. They realize that they are only channels in the creative process. They realize that talent and conflict go hand in hand. Creative people cherish all the colors on the palette, and they aren’t afraid to color outside the lines.”
