hat is one of the most difficult hurdles and significant challenges you face as a writer? I’ll tell you what it is; it’s the “creative process” – and everyone has their own way of being creative. BUT – it’s still a big challenge to a lot of us. Like many of you, for the longest time I thought my creative process must be “just mine” – that I must face it and “do” it all alone. Many of us just don’t want to share the creative juices once they get flowing; but most writers I know and work with love to share and learn and listen; and they do that by something called “brainstorming”. Brainstorming is what a writer does when their creativity isn’t at an all-time high; it’s what he or she does to get those creative juices flowing, again; it’s what all great authors have done at one time or another. Brainstorming with a creativity group – writers who all want to move forward to “publish” – is THE MOST HELPFUL thing a writer can do for him or herself. And that’s not all. There are about eight very helpful but practical habits you as a writer can learn to improve your unique, creative process.
So, what can you do whenever you get into a bind creating something new? You get to brainstorming with a creative group (like the Round Robin Writers!) and embrace some (or all) of the above eight practical habits (or at least those of the eight that speak to you & your situation). That’s it. But “it” is a biggie. Now go forth and be the creative writer you were meant to be! ~ Gail
