How to uncover your creativity
What is your creativity? By asking some people this question I realized that most of us don't really know what is their creative talent (or talents). Of course-some people who are aware of their talent(s) in a many variety of fields are the true exception. I would say these people are the lucky ones as they live their passion and do what they love. Might it be every day or sometimes.
If you are not sure where your creative talent lies you simply have to embark on a journey of inner discovery. Search and explore your interest and wonder what artistic tasks really brings you joy and happiness in life. Be patient as it might take a while to figure out your creative talent(s). When you discover your creativity you will know. What ever it might be you fill feel it in your heart. For some the journey of trying to find their creativity continues through their lives.
Some people including myself have searched for their creative talents and also learned many new skills and knowledge. Sometimes we change careers in our lives just like our interests change directions.
So what ever your uncovered talent might be start to listen to your heart and soul. Try different creative things.Be imaginative, courageous and have fun. Do what ever your heart tells you to do. I strongly believe that most creative people feel an inner calling to do something particular. Unfortunately, sometimes we all are just too busy life itself. We don't take enough time for ourselves to do something which fulfills an empty spot in our hearts.
I was a very creative child and always excelled in art classes and learning languages. Although I never forgot my creative talents I never really lived my passion of creative writing. When I rediscovered it later in life I felt an joy, happiness and most of all what I like to express as an inner enlightenment. Writing and illustrating for young readers is my true passion-that's what I know 4 sure.
Happy discovery on your journey to unleash your creativity!

The joy of creative writing
Creative writing is considered any artistic writing which communicates a writer’s thoughts and emotions in a cultivated, enchanting, imaginative and poetic style.
Creative writing should be considered an art. Some people are lucky to discover it early on and some struggle to uncover this talent and or learn the skills. Any body can write something. But is it original, creative, enchanting, interesting, charismatic, engaging, unique? Is it written from the heart?
I believe that talented creative writers are inspired and driven by true passion for what they are writing about. Being a creative children's writer is my great passion and inspiring challenge. I am driven by my passion for creating delightful imaginary worlds for my story's characters and an unique inspiring message for the young readers of my children's book.
I always loved to write creative and motivating stories.Somehow I forgot about my talent for many years. When I recently rediscovered my love and passion for creative writing I decided to put it into work in my debut children's book "My Fuzzy's World".
When I write a creative children's story I feel joy, happiness, creativity and a purpose. I am confident what I am writing about and enjoy sharing my imaginary world to teach children about the essence of family, friendship, courage, creating colorful dreams and determination to follow their dreams and make them come true.Creative writing for children fulfills my unique dream. Now I now for sure that writing for children is my true passion.
I like to share the following profound quotes on creativity and writing:
"There is the happiness which comes from creative effort. The joy of dreaming, creating, building, whether in painting a picture, writing an epic, singing a song, composing a symphony, devising new invention, creating a vast industry."
Henry Miller, American novelist and painter.
"To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music the words make."
Truman Capote, American author.
