Message From a Non-Creative Writer:
I am not a creative writer.
I can visualize vivid images, exciting plots, and engaging storylines in my head, but on paper they fall far short of my imagination. Throughout my life, I have struggled to become a the creative writer that I have seen in friends and through books. My goal was to be a writer that could turn a mere hundred words into an unforgettable scene that would last the test of time and drastically affect the course of humanity. I have learned, however, that my gift lies in a different direction.
My gift lies in the realm of the non-creative.
I deal with facts. I bring the mundane of life to the surface and make it understood. I am accompanied by the grimness of reality. However, in reality comes the truth. And the truth gives people the relief and knowledge that they seek to continue.
Because life cannot be lived purely in the creative.
That's why there's the non-creative. |
