Hi Trish, sorry for such a late reply. Yes, creativity is an amazing process, and it can be a very freeing process also. If a person gives themselves totally to the experience of creation amazing things can be achieved. Even just spending time with my children when they were young sticking different textures onto paper, making collages, and painting (nothing all that recognizable) but it was and always will be a beautiful time and place to remember. Why? Because we allowed ourselves to be in the creative matrix. It was always about the whole process of creativity and not the end result. I’m pleased you enjoy the freedom that comes with your creativity. I’m even more pleased that you acknowledge it. :))

Trish, you make everything I’ve said worthwhile. I love that. If I could reach out and give you a hug I would. The word you added to make everything complete was…freedom. That is the addition I have been waiting to read. Allowing yourself the freedom to be there in the creative matrix. Thank you. 🙂

I am a writer. I always have been and I always will. I may never publish a single novel yet I will still be a writer. The written word energises my creative flow. Writing about something (anything) makes me feel better. Giving creativity the freedom it needs, and acknowledging it, gives me the freedom I need.

Thank you for sharing your creativity with me.
Trish

Thanks Karen. 🙂 You know I think you’re awesome for all the work you do helping other authors. Like I said below,I believe people are pulled together by creative energy, and for that I’m truly grateful. Thank you for your kind words and support. ~big hug~

Gina, you know you are my favourite, (I’m using some of your Twitter bio because your words say it best) “book reviewer, reading addiction enabler, all around lover of the written word” so your comment means a lot to me. ~big hug~ I believe people are pulled together by creative energy and for that I’m truly grateful. You are awesome! 🙂

Holly, I’m pleased you recognize the energy of creativity. I think when we are enjoying our time in the matrix everything around us improves. Writing has been known to be therapeutic for centuries, and so has pottery, painting, photography and the list goes on. That’s why I think it’s important for people to explore their creative side. Holly, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I really appreciate it. 🙂

It’s been my pleasure to guide you here. You know my feelings about your work … awesome, awesome, and awesome! You are one of the most talented writers I know. My fascination with horror perhaps links us, but it’s also because we are women who enjoy being creative. I’m forever grateful we met at DHG. 🙂
