The Creative Life

I've been thinking a lot lately about the idea of living creatively--how it's part of human nature but how it has to be cultivated and practiced. So how do you guys live creatively--how you do everyday things with your own flare or how you add something unique to your ordinary world?

Being Called to be an Artist v. Being Called to Create

On my blog, I've championed the idea that Christians have the permission, and indeed duty, to critique art so that as we embody Christ in art, we present something beautiful, redemptive, and excellent.

So today, I want to take a moment to look at the spiritual discipline of being creative--a discipline everyone, artist or not, can (and should) participate in. I want to show you the difference in my life between being creative and being an artist.

This is my first video blog. It runs approximately 8 min.

Brainstorming

As I revise my Marnie novel and as I put together a proposal for a Bible study series, I'm allowing a new book to simmer. I don't have much written down--just the first page that inspired this idea. I know the main character. I know two of her friends. I know how she got into the situation she's in at the beginning of the book. But I don't yet know the story. That's okay.

I'm simmering.

The Story of Your Life
It happened one night, it was a dark and stormy night, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. No matter how it begins, everyone has a story to live, and every story begins with a Call to Adventure. Heather looks at the Christian's call to adventure, the attributes of a hero, and the response that gets us moving on the yellow brick road.

Maybe I'll Go Traveling for a Year*

Yesterday was a bad day. I'm not afraid to tell you that. And part of that bad day came about because of my writing.

I didn't like it.

What am I doing? I thought and almost deleted the file (which wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying as burning the manuscript--heck, maybe I'll print a couple of pages for burning purposes).

You see, I've been on my second rough draft, I'm calling it, of this novel. At first, I loved it. Now, I wonder, what am I doing? (If other writers have these moments, feel free to chime in now.)
