The joy of creating something new

There is an inexplicable joy in creating something new, a joy known only to creative people. Sometimes it takes days and months of brainstorming, tons of crumpled papers in the waste bin and sometimes it comes to you just as easy as breathing in the most unlikely places. The satisfaction of giving life to an idea on paper in the form of a poem, story, song, painting or design is unmatched!

A creative mind never sleeps. It is brimming with ideas waiting to become a concrete reality. Everything serves as material for their next piece of art - conversations on the bus, new sights, and sounds. Creative people borrow stories & experiences from people and mix it with their own to create something solely theirs.

Ideas come spontaneously and haphazardly to artists. They need the freedom to chase these ideas and play with them to create something out of it. Artists need a  journal or notebook with them at all times to record their thoughts. There is something about holding a pen on paper that unleashes creativity. The right notebook can inspire their creative juices to flow seamlessly.
