Is Creativity Dying?

Hey Writing with Sprinkle Community, it's me BH!

With all this talk about computers stealing jobs and creativity from under our noses, I get the frustrated feeling that you are having.

What is the point in continuing on my writing journey if AI can write and publish faster than me?

Well, here are my reasons why YOU can keep writing and shouldn't for a moment think about quitting!

Your Story Came To You

Has it occurred to you that this specific idea for a story, piece of inspiration, or dream came to YOU?

It didn't come to your neighbors, siblings, parents, friends, or that lady at the Wal-Mart (aka the one cashier left if you know what I mean).

It came to you you so you could release it.

So that maybe it's presence could assist you with something as well as others.

Time Passes By

Obviously time passes by anyway so it only makes sense your don't waist it doing something your don't enjoy.

If writing is something you enjoy, just starting out or been at it for years, why not feed into it? Why not tell the story you were made to tell?

Life is fueled by a ton of other things you need to do. Most are boring but totally necessary. Spend a little on you. On what you want.

Time will go away and you can't get it back.

Change Is Constant

One thing that you can rely upon to stay exactly the same is the fact that nothing is the same. Change is a constant. It is inevitable.

You might like one idea one day and decide you don't like it any more the next. You might find that the more specific genre or some plots that you are writing aren't marketable but they might become marketable later. You could find you wanted to end a story one way but then end it another way you find more suitable.

Then there is the constant change to our daily lives. There is going to be different things going on that could switch you around in different directions. Accomplishments, disappointments, jobs, family situations, friendships, deaths.

It's a changing world so why not just do what you want or attempt to do what you need to in the moment. Hobbies aren't a crime. Creativity isn't a crime.
