Recently, I watched the documentary on David McCullough called, Painting with Words. In it he mentions that although he has been blessed with a level of success as an author, it is the actual act of writing that thrills him most. In the documentary he goes on to say that the idea of a new creative project is what keeps him going. If you get the chance, I strongly encourage you to watch this inspirational documentary. It contains great thoughts on writing...and on life.
It seems to me that whether or not you're a writer, a musician, or any other type of artist, your creativity has the ability to change the mundane into the miraculous - like a cloak of winter snow can change a seemingly random piece of landscape into a thing of beauty.
As time has gone by, I have slowly but surely come to embrace the extraordinary gift that writing has brought to me. The flow of my mind's thoughts placed upon paper - like a cloak of creativity - is what has transformed my own mundane existence into a miraculous life.
"Every book is a new journey. I never felt like I was an expert as I embarked on a project." David McCullough
