The whole idea of being Creative gives expression to our unique individuality as a person, able to think and act and be someone special in this wonderful and crazy world of ours.
Of course, we learn from others, guidelines as to how to be creative, especially with the written word. When we want to make an impact, using our individual talents, we can follow patterns set out by others. This is well and good, provided we do not become a'copy-cat'!
So, the challenge is to learn to put pen to paper and write our own thoughts and inspirations, even though the guidelines we follow have been taught to us by others who have been successful with their stories and poems and novels and films.
This is where our belief system kicks in. It is so important that we believe in ourselves and the inspirations and promptings that come to mind. It can happen that we at first, will copy a certain style from someone we admire, yet our sense of truth will protect us and encourage us to be truly ourselves.
This is the hallmark of becoming a great writer /artist / poet / whatever God-given talent we have. Above all, to be true to the unique person we are.
