Introduction

Anyone who wants to be creative can be creative.  Though you may think you're not creative, rest assured that you too can be creative.  I can't promise it will come easy as nothing worthwhile does, but if you want to develop your creative side, you can do it. 

Don't think of creativity in all or nothing terms.  Don't think of creativity as something just painters, composers, and sculptors do, but realize virtually everyone can be creative in small or big ways and in everyday or not so everyday ways.

I personally live to create and I live for freedom of speech.  Freedom of speech and creativity go hand in hand.  Freedom of speech fertilizes the creative environment so we can cultivate the best masterpieces.  Indeed, I feel creativity calls me and I thank freedom of speech for that.

In this work, I invite you to develop more creativity by showing you exactly how I have developed my own creativity over the years and how  I have attempted to harness many different types of creativity.  I find it surprising how many different forms of creativity exist.  In fact, one can be creative in virtually unlimited ways. 

Don't just take it from me.  Others have perhaps put it even better than I do.  For example, Brian Tracy said, Any life skill is learnable.  This empowering statement definitely applies to creativity! 

Similarly, Debbie Ford stated, Any trait you see in others, you can develop in your self.  As a society, we idolize creative people (musicians and actors especially), but realize if you see creativity in them, you can develop it in yourself as well. 

Do you want to join me in experiencing unbelievably divine creativity?  If so, read on and I'll acquaint you with a number of ways to experience creativity's wonderful euphoria.

One: Write Short Stories

Freedom of expression has guided my life mission from day one even if I haven't been able to articulate that as such until more recent times.  As long as I can remember, I have been writing, thus exercising a fundamental building block of free expression. 

In my younger days, I used freedom of speech to write short stories.  These days, I don't write short stories at all, but that's okay, as with creativity, you keep it fresh by finding new outlets and in a fast changing world, you find new outlets everywhere.  You change the forms of creativity you embrace as you find new outlets.

If you find creativity difficult, take comfort in the fact short stories by their very nature, are short.  Not that many words constitute a finished product.  Furthermore, as literary experts have declared some short stories  classics of literature.

One of the earliest short stories I wrote I named Invasion of the Killer Intestines.  The plot resembled the 80s movie Gremlins a little as when the characters uttered the phrase large and small [intestines], killer intestines would emerge.  I don't remember ever saving this story digitally, but I did print it out on maybe a typewriter.  Recently, after sorting some old belongings, I found the original copy, so a copy still survives if anyone cares. 

I even submitted Invasion of the Killer Intestines to Golden Books to publish.  Golden Books rejected this first book submission of mine.  Golden Books said my work didn't conform to its style and indeed it didn't as Golden Books published more cutesy, non-violent works.
