Creativity is part of our nature; we, not the ostrich, have been given the ability to create. God breathes life into our dusty forms. His Spirit hovers over us, calling to the depths and leading us into abundant living. We are creative because we are made in God’s image. ~ Alice Bass, The Creative Life
To enjoy a creative life, we need to be free to experience more of Christ’s inspiration and less of our own inhibitions, fears, and sin patterns. ~ Alice Bass, The Creative Life
What is hindering your creativity? For me, and very recently, it’s painful emotions in response to situations beyond my control. The answer? Let go. Let go, forgive, and let the God of mercies reign in my heart. Then I’m able to write again.

I think for me, what hinders creativity is fear - the fear to create situations that I know nothing about, and also the fact that if there is something I don’t know anything about, will the research I do be enough to convince people that I do know something after doing the research…if that makes sense.

Shelley, I think this type of fear is universal among writers, so just start with what you know. Then research and add to it. Thanks for visiting, my friend. Always good to get your feedback. {{hugs}}
