Creativity is like stepping into an old, forgotten room in your mind—dusty, cluttered, maybe even intimidating. It’s filled with half-formed ideas and echoes of dreams left behind. But then, a spark—a shaft of light through the dust—lands on something unexpected. You pick it up, turn it over, and suddenly, the mess starts making sense. Or maybe it doesn’t—not right away—but something tells you to keep going. Creativity is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes frustrating. It’s getting lost only to stumble upon something beautiful. It’s reaching for the impossible, failing, and realizing the process was the point all along. Like standing at the ocean’s edge, daring yourself to step in—creativity is an invitation. It asks you to let go, trust the chaos, and open doors, even the ones that scare you. And in doing so, you create something new—something only you could bring into the world.

Writing something is like exploring a new world.  Something like opening your garage door. Often it is something that can not be said in a proper way other than on paper.  When your mouth feels dry and you have zero to say, you can resolve to your best friend in writing- the keyboard. Like your feet walking, touring, exploring, and ending in new places in a foreign country.  Sure you get lost.  A lot!  But then after a while, you get that opportunity to find something new.   Your garage door is opening.  For some, it is a really frightening experience.  Clutter, stuff, broken and unfinished tasks, or a box with bad memories.  But then some good can come out of it too…  And so the same with writing.
