I started writing and haven't stopped since. I always said many things were transferable from one visual medium to another, and I have been continually surprised by how many things are transferable to writing too- the discipline, the ability to get into the zone. The blank canvas, the blank page, pretty well the same thing. the need to learn all the rules until they are second nature and you no longer have to think - I think that's what finally turns off the internal editor. You can turn it on again later (also something learned in painting.)
In closing - being a writer is a confluence of everything we have previously learned in life. Thanks for the post.

I agree that Creativity does not come whenever you want it to and in that sense cannot be controlled, but I do believe, as Piper said, that you can practice being more 'creative', or at least be able to write more on the same or even on a higher qualitative level through practice and discipline. I find it a very encouraging thought.

Thinking we're in charge, that is. 🙂

LOL. We definitely all need more sleep. 🙂

Yes. I can't claim my stories came from me--for the most part, anyway.

Great point! Repetitive motion can have the same effect as sleep.

I always practiced my finger cymbals while driving by tapping the steering wheel. 🙂

Thank you very much. I had no idea there was science to back me up. I've always said that the function of science is to prove the veracity of Old Wives Tales.

Hope the unlined paper put your left brain in it's place.

Thank you so much. That makes my day. 🙂
