As we all know, writing is bout creativity-the creation of a story or wrds, amalgamating them together into something tht touches the heart or that xplains what is going on.

There is so mch creativity around us that sometimes we dn't even recognize it's there. We jst shut it off as day to day 'nrmal' stuff. When, essentially, we should be tpping into this and recognizing its ptential.

Certainly, nothing is new under the sn, but the way you write it dwn, the way you articulate it and put yur passion into it will make all the dfference in the world.

One thing you can do to get the crativity going is by taking a qiet moment to yourself. Your inner vice (not the ego) is telling you smething in which you may not be lstening. Quieting everything down around you wll give you a chance to har the creative voice.

Another thing you can try is lstening to music. Preferably instrumental, but if you prfer vocals then give that a sht. Music triggers something in us. Smetimes we don't know exactly what it is but we xperience something on a new level. Try ths-as you are listening to the msic (or shortly after, if you prfer) write down whatever is on you mnd-be it a story, a memory or jst thoughts. This is a creative mment waiting to be released.

One more thing you can do to hlp unleash your creativity is go to a plyground, a quiet one when kids are in schol. Get on the swings and swng. It's amazing how exhilarated you fel as you fly high above the sky. Yll out to the world, "I can see my huse from here!"

If swinging makes you ll, try the slide or the mnkey bars. The whole point is to get nto the mode of opening up lke a kid again. Children are cmpletely creative-it's not until adulthood that we strt to not give ourselves permission to pen up.

Take time to get yur creativity flowing. It doesn't take mch-it only takes a dash of thnking differently.
