The Creative Mind

Creative people often acknowledge that they respect and make use of their childhood interests, experiences and personalities, perhaps in ways that other people don’t, or tend to discard as adults.

Feeling joyful and enthusiastic, unhurried, unstructured and uncritical as a kid are all qualities that can encourage creativity.

But there are also dark sides of childhood for many people that can also motivate powerful writing and other creative work.
