I Have No Talent!
How many times have I heard this complaint? After a little investigation, it usually turns out that the complainer has never really tried anything involving creativity. “Oh, I can’t even draw a straight line!”
As my artist mother used to say, “Use a ruler!” Creativity has nothing to do with drawing straight or curved lines. It has everything to do with self-expression, and the ability to see what is in front of you. We are humans, capable of great works of art, creating delicious banquets, and solving the riddles of the Universe. But the first step is to try.
If you have been told you can’t draw, carry a tune, bake a decent meal and so on, I would like you to prove those naysayers wrong, for once and all. It may take time and patience to turn the tide of self-negation, but it can be done!
Check a book out of the library with simple steps towards creating your first….anything! The best place to start is exactly where you are right now.
