Am I ????

Daily writing prompt
How are you creative?

I love these Daily Prompts, most are fun and few like this one are positively haunting, nudging you to look inwards and sometimes cajoling you to face your fears.

So, I will bite….

For the most part, I don’t consider myself creative, I can’t draw or paint, or build, I just write.

I squirm when people call me creative, I know you think I am either being modest or worse, suffering from Imposter syndrome.

I can sing, sometimes well, sometimes passably.

But the first time I discovered my creativity was when I had to write a play for a college group assignment, it was a social marketing project and other groups were busy working on their presentations, but our group came up with a play instead, and I wrote that play, and it was well received, like better than well received.

I realized I am mostly creative in high pressure situations, something about last minute glitches bring out the Houdini in me.

That’s about me, what makes you creative?
