WAKE UP AND WRITE
Nurture All Aspects of Your Creativity
Creativity breeds more creativity
Wake Up and Write is a regular advice column from Moms Don’t Have Time to Write. Today, we have Alyssa Milano — actress, producer, activist, and the author of the novel Project Class President, the third book in her middle-grade series: Hope — who shared writing advice on the podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books, hosted by Zibby Owens.
“Nurturing your creativity is important.”
“Not only to keep it alive, but also to spark other ways in which you can be creative. It all feeds off each other.
During quarantine, I started doing watercolor painting. It’s amazing how just sitting down for twenty minutes in the evening and really being mindful and doing something that is so fluid, can spark ideas about an essay I want to write. I really think creativity breeds more creativity.
You don’t have to just do that one thing that you’re thinking you’re creative at. You can start something new. It will still feed the thing that you think that you’re good at.
Ultimately, art is really just about expressing yourself, sharing who you are.”
