The Creative Mind

What do you do when you’re all alone in your working area and you have no one else to talk to? Its simple really that’s if you have a very creative mind. Which I don’t happen to have, the creative not the mind which, sometimes, come to think of it, I may lack. I remember in High School we have this class called creative writing. Here we were assigned to write in our “journals” about certain topics and release our inner imagination. Usually I pass the writing stage but I tell you creativity in written form is a mystery to me. But how can you be creative when the teacher herself gives you the topic to write down? One topic I can recall is one about the “magic mirror” – o wow, yippee, way to go. But still if I were creative I could have written something magical about it not just the mundane stuff. I just don’t have the gift of gab. Some people can make a novel just sitting in the MRT. But me, no, I just sit (or mostly stand) in the MRT. Mostly I just think of what happened during the day or sometimes give other passengers the evil eye for trying to push me. Nothing imaginative about that. I can’t even think of one thing which happened to me today which I can expound on. Expound… hmm… yet another word which boggles the mind. Every essay exams I ever had always had that word “expound” which means to present and explain systematically. Just expounding on this topic is already making me bleed. As to what to do? I still have no idea. Let me get back to you as soon as I get my creative juices flowing – if I’m lucky.
