I Am Creative
Writers are born and they are great readers and creative. It's hard to explain what puts the ideas in my head, but I feel an urge to put something down on paper or in the PC on a screen. If it's a fairly good idea, I need to commit it to SOMETHING and share it with others.
Writers will accept a suggestion in an ongoing story, particularly if they hit "writer's block". But don't attempt to write or re-write it for them. The story is their 'muse" not yours. I have had people read what my creative brain dictated to me and they say "why don't you - " and suggest something completely different from the direction in which I am going.
I write the story in my head - beginning and ending, then flesh out the details in between. When it flows like it should, then I can share it with you and the neighbor's bulldog and everyone else in between.
Margaret Mitchell and Harper Lee wrote their books without anyone's help. Writing is a solitary occupation, often frustrating when you hit a "glitch".
Share your thoughts - or better still, write your own book or story.
