Creativity

I've always wanted to be an author. I love the feeling of staring at a blank page and being free to write whatever you want a lose yourself in that world and hope that whoever else reads it will have that feeling too.

I think that as I've grown up all my creativity has taken a back seat or, at least has manifested into a more grown-up form. I love to film videos, I love to write radio-dramas and I love to make-up film ideas yet I only do this as part of my college course.

When I sit down and begin these things I don't get excited and wonder if people that watch/listen to this will be taken to a different place and if I can escape while I write it, I think 'What's the easiest way to get a distinction?' That makes me sad.

One of my upcoming units is going to be fictional writing and I'm really excited about that. I'm hoping I can flex my creative muscles once again and be able to submerse myself in my story and my writing. 

At the moment, I'm trying to come up with a really exciting and orginal idea (without boring you too much, this idea will count towards three units in the end, so it's gotta be good) which'll hopefully completely and utterly capture my imagination.

Right now, my idea is something to with suicide pacts that is giving me very little inspiration so I might change it. I just have to come up with something good.

I'm hoping this will ignite my imagination once more and I can be creative in the way I once was, hopefully. Is this something that's happened to you?

On another note, and as some shameless plugging, if you are creative go to www.creartive.uk.tt and check out my exhibition.
