Yeah, I got so caught up in all the structure and "rules" that come along with academic writing that eventually I became so uptight about anything I'd put on paper, and there went my creativity... it went pissing into the wind. Oh well, I know I'll get it back. Eventually.
Hahaha, yeah, I don't know if being grumpy will cut it but I guess I could give it a shot! What has helped you to write creatively even while happy? That could be a whole post in itself, perhaps? :P
Exactly! It's hard to maintain your creativity when they shove academics down your throat.
Hehehe I should write a post, I dunno, I'm a high energy person. I'm that type of girl you see and you roll your eyes because she laughs too much, Jumps around and runs everywhere! Writing gives me an outlet to release some of that energy because it's over powering haha.
