Did you think of yourself as a creative kid? What does creativity look like for you these days? I never thought I was a creative kid. I was very good at subjects like math and spelling, but bad at things that required imagination, like drawing and painting. This is probably why it didn’t occur to me that being a writer could be an actual job. I loved reading books--my eyesight is terrible because of all the nights I snuck books under the covers when I was supposed to be asleep--but because I believed I wasn’t creative, no one ever directed me toward the arts as a career.
If Evelyn sees this, can she expand on how she does operate (for lack of a better word): “For me, I saw nothing, so I drew the erroneous conclusion that I had no imagination. I just needed to learn to approach my imagination in a different way than most.”
