Magic

Creative writing is creative. Creative means alive. Magic is underway.

This fact the writer whispers silently. And hearing this, the writer laughs. Silent words! Invisible words! Pure mind! Where exactly are these words that we speak silently? Where else? The writer laughs, because unspoken words are alive and just that, existing only in the mind and nowhere else!

The writer works this understanding until work finds the empty page and becomes writing. That work is nothing less than forging one's own values - otherwise, one is not really finding the empty page but the palimpsest, the page written over by other writers.

Creative writing is about overcoming conditioning and making art out of one's uniqueness.

Creative writing is creativity flowing through the world. Mind itself is flowing.

Magic.
