One of the biggest misconceptions about creativity is the swapping and substituting of terms to encompass all art or all creativity. At its root, creativity is creating. It’s making something, anything! While you can say that all art is creative, all creativity doesn’t have to be art.
This is something that I have often wondered about, and I have been guilty of falling into that misconception. There are times when I feel creative but definitely not creating art.
While all creativity may not be art, being creative inspires me. It inspires me to want to become more creative and work towards creating something artistic.
I just today realized that by ignoring my blog as I have for the past year and a half, I have become less and less creative. Writing this blog has, in the past, inspired me to create art. What reminded me of this was today was time to renew my blog site and domain name. How I was reminded was that my Venmo account didn’t have sufficient funds to renew (I keep only enough funds in my Venmo to pay for many of my online accounts as a way of lowering my chances of being hacked and scammers stealing funds). With all that being said, I hope to become more active in writing my thoughts and I certainly hope that you join me by reading and then sharing your thoughts on what I have written with the intend to keep us all creative.
