Recently I’ve been asked by several author\/bloggers to submit a guest post about creativity.\u00a0 At first I balked because when it come to creativity I feel like a gnu among gazelles.\u00a0 I “hang out” with a lot of novelists but\u00a0 I am a non-fiction writer.\u00a0 I’ve tried writing novels – three of them – they all made the rounds of agents without a nibble.\u00a0 I write well, so I assumed I’m just not creative enough.<\/p>\n
But a few people have been kind enough to help me change my mind (a little) on that.\u00a0 OK, I’m not a novelist, but I’ve always tried to keep my non-fiction from being dry and boring.\u00a0 My latest book has received some great reviews, I was awarded the Versatile Blogger Award, the One Lovely Blog award and Mitchell Allen (one of the most creative bloggers I know) once told me, “You could make a trip to the Post Office entertaining”.\u00a0 So I hot-glued some flashing Christmas tree lights to a colander, slipped it onto my head as a thinking cap and set to work.<\/p>\n
First up was Stuart Nager, AKA The Born Storyteller.\u00a0 I met Stuart on Twitter and we became friends and co-conspirators when we ended up huddled around the same bonfire on Triberr.\u00a0 You can read my Guest Post, Creativity and Inspiration<\/a> on his web site.\u00a0 Also be sure to drop by his blog, Tale Spinning<\/a>, to read his excellent short stories.\u00a0 Stuart is, among other things, a Professional Storyteller; NYS Certified Drama Teacher, and Drama Coach.<\/p>\n Next was Sirius Press, Inc.’s Creative Flux blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n Please pop over and read Training Creativity<\/a>; it\u2019s a short post and I think you\u2019ll find it entertaining.<\/p>\n I wrote the Mechanics of Creativity<\/a> as a guest post for another blogger who invited me to guest, then dropped off the face of the Earth and hasn’t been heard from since. So I posted it here in order to keep it in the same timeline as the rest.
