A Few Words On Creativity

It’s not often that I leave a conversation wishing I had responded differently, but alas, I’m human, and I hope you can all still respect me in the morning.

Recently, I attended a networking meeting (in person, to boot—yes, I do occasionally leave my home and don something other than Lululemons and t-shirts!), and someone asked me, "How’s the creative writing going?" My instinct was to talk about book writing, as it's the most tangible form of my creative work these days.

But as I was driving home, reflecting on the conversation, it hit me: all writing is creative.

Whether I’m crafting an email, working on website copy, or brainstorming for a new client project, it’s all an exercise in creativity. Finding the right words, the perfect turn of phrase, and the story that will resonate is all part of the creative journey.

So, the next time someone asks, "How’s the creative writing going?" I’ll likely respond in a new way, allowing myself to be curious about their reason for asking instead of simply giving a straightforward answer. What’s been sparking your creativity lately? I’d love for you to take a moment to reflect on it and share your thoughts by sending me an email at judi@judi411.com. After all, we are all creative beings, and every day offers us new opportunities to express that creativity in our signature way.
