I have written a post before (HERE) that I find it difficult to define myself with one word or even words. I can’t say I am a runner, or that I am a triathlete. Yes, I run, I do triathlons but am I a runner? I have the same problem with saying I am creative. I just cannot do it. I say “I can draw” or “I can copy”, or “I do crafts” but I cannot say I am creative. Maybe because that is not how I see myself. I don’t see myself as creative. I intend to change that!
I want to be able to say I am creative. I have read that creativity, like most things improves with practice. So that is what I intend to do. I am going to practice it.
I used to draw much more than I do now. I used to carry a sketch pad around with me and draw random stuff. I stopped. I want to start again. Jeanette had a link to a site called Doodlemom. What an awesome blog. I don’t plan on doing that, but it has inspired me to pick up my sketch pad again and draw.

Oh wow…just checked out that blog…very cool.
And yes…do it
I beg to disagree with you – you have the inner need to create, I know because you told me before. I think having the urge means you are. Enjoy it
Yes, I have the urge to create or make something – all most all the time. I guess it I always just think of what I do as copying somebody elses idea as opposed to actually creating my own and therefore not creative.
I think you are definitely creative! And what an awesome word to be:-)
Thank you.
