A Carnivorous Creative
For every writer creative process is defined differently. Their method of creativity is as individual as each writer’s personality. What works for one writer often does not work for another. The same can be said about productivity. Some writers can produce pages without effort, while others suffer putting a single word on a page each day. And what about the space in which writers create. Some require quiet and solitude, while others prefer the commotion of a coffee shop or some form of white noise to help them get into the zone.
What does it take to see a project to completion? You can have all the tools and still not succeed. What should you write about? Where do you begin? Should you prepare an outline, or just start writing? What will be your inspiration to keep plugging forward when you get bogged down in the middle or develop writer’s block? Writing doesn’t have to be a lonely endeavour. We can choose to surround ourselves with other writers to create an environment of comradery, a safe space to share ideas, cheer each other on, and discuss writing strategies to see us through to the end of our project. After all, the purpose of exchanging information is to learn from one another so that we may finish a piece of writing we are proud of, and maybe even dare to have published.
