Sharing some humor, a bit of writing and way too much information

PROMPTuesday #93

Etcetera

It’s been about a year since I last posted Elizabeth (“Eat, Pray, Love” author) Gilbert’s TED talk on creativity. Her take on the creative process is fascinating and liberating, and begs the question posed for today’s PROMPT:

 

What is creativity to you?

 

This is a boundary-less and limit-less prompt. You can write what you believe creativity is, or where it comes from, or post a nonsense poem. It’s all creative in my book.

 

Please post your thoughts in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog in the comments.

 

First time to PROMPTuesday? Read a bit about it here.

    To me, the most important (and elusive aspect) of writing is the simple motto “Show! Don’t Tell!” The “showing,” in addition to a compelling plot, is what distinguishes good writing from dull writing. I struggle with this.

    Today, when emailing a friend with a writing critique, I ran across this article, which I enjoyed:

    I’ll summarize with a short “crumping” poem:

    Don’t Tell! Show!
    Stupid mofo!
    (repeat)

    (Sung to the tune of “Pants on the Ground.”)

    And here is a haiku that I wrote to immortalize this concept:

    Quill dips . . .
    Exact descriptions inked onto parchment
    The readers snooze.

    My best to all . . .

Highlights: learning about Mezcal at @enfuegocantina, sampling new @lalospirits tequila, catching the sunset at @monarchdelmar, amazing ceviche at @coya_peruvian_secret, and the most delicious gluten-free birthday cake from @shanjo! Recommend this for next year - was the best best most good time.
