Writing creatively may come easy to some. At one point it did for me, at least from a marketing standpoint. I could take a theatrical production and write paragraphs about it, making audiences want to come and experience it for themselves. Then somewhere along the line of writing only in a news article (press releases, stories about technical topics, etc) way I lost the creative edge I had.
So now at 39, I have decided to do something about it. This blog is part of it. Another part is taking an online course called Writeriffic. Today was day one, so there is not much to tell yet, but our assignment is to pick a book about writing and read in it. So, off my shelf comes a book I bought a couple years back and have never read - "Everybody Writes" by Ann Handley. I plan to write a review of the book here on my blog once I am finished reading it, but that might be a few weeks down the road. My other goal is to publish any of my assignments from the class here as well as in the discussion sections of the class. If anyone want to comment, critique, etc those items, please do. That is the only way to move forward.
What are key items to your creativity? I would love to hear what helps other writers.
