Creative
Writing Invitation #2: What Does Creativity Mean to You?
Given your educational background and life experiences, how do
you define creativity or creative writing? What does creativity
mean to you?
Can you recollect and describe your first creative thoughts or
piece of creative writing? What do you think when you're not thinking
about school, bills, what to wear, or any of the other trivial matters
that rotate in your mind like a hamster on a wheel?
Do you do any creative writing now? What do you write about? What
would you like to explore that you haven't yet? What do you think
about when you're "spacing out"? Where do you "space out"?
Have you ever had any creative assignments in your classes? What
were they? Did you like them? Why? What did you think while you
were doing them? Have you ever had any teachers who promoted or
encouraged creativity in the classroom? What did they do that really
helped spark your creative thoughts?
