Can you learn to be creative?
Hmmmm, I tried knitting…nope, funky fingers failed. Hmmmm, I tried crocheting…nope, same funky fingers. Hmmmm, I have rug hooked, but became a little bored (probably why my fingers failed at the other two items). I tried gardening…bugs = icky. I tried crossed stitching, but only ended up with crossed eyes.
I took music lessons, once. The scales were boring and practice was tedious. I did Tai Chi…have I ever mentioned my two left feet. Singing? Hmmmm, ever hear a frog with a frog in its throat.
Sketching, drawing, yup I can do that. I have to concentrate and dedicate a couple of hours and turn my extremely critical artistic ego off, but I like sketching. I learned techniques that work from my art classes more than any talent nature gave me.
Writing, storytelling, prose, that’s just in my blood. I can’t not make up stories or place myself inside a favourite television show or exciting new book…did I really just share this?
Did I learn these creative endeavours or are they just part of me?
Both.
I am naturally drawn to words and sketching is an itch I can’t ignore. Whether I’m good at either of them, well that’s not the real point, now is it.
Chris. I used to do all kinds of arts and crafts. I love creating something new and different. Why can't I do that with my writing? Not in the creative mood at the moment. Crafts are easier, the object is right there in front of you, Writing is something you create in your mind..much harder.
I like to knit,sew, and generally be creative.
Good blog.
