Other Creatives

Other Creatives. I'd like that to be a store name. Maybe my store. I'm snatching that term "Creatives" from Julia Cameron (and/or her co-author on The Artists Way, Mark), but I'm using it neutrally. Whereas, usually it was "blocked creatives" and "frustrated creatives" when they used it.

Well, other creative people in my life, that is the topic I am grateful for today. That sounds lifeless -- guess I must elaborate. Truly, for me, surrounding myself with creative people includes not just the people I get to know personally -- I am especially grateful for those people. Then, expand that circle to the creative souls whose careers I follow; singer-songwriters, like Ed Sheeran and Sting, actors, like Val Kilmer and Hugh Jackman. Above those I hold dear the authors that I have met, Wil Wheaton, Robert Block, to name a few. Even if it is a new and unknown author, writers continuously enlighten me. Many are here on Writing.com, others are fabulously popular and get the benefit of having their words turned into popular films. (Another love, film.)

That will be detailed at a future time in this month of gratitude, I'm sure.
