"I'm just not very creative ..."

We can't all be creative ... or can we?

Carol Patrick Wagner

Creativity . Have you been told that it is a gift that some have and others don't? People sometimes describe themselves or others as "not very creative."

I thought I was one of those "not very creative" people. So when a poem that I wrote was accepted for publication, it was for me the culmination of what seemed to be a surprising creative process. Spiritual inspiration and a deep desire to share an idea I'd had were what impelled me to write the poem. And they provided the impetus for the thorough revisions as well! (Even the revisions were accomplished with a minimum of perplexity.)
