jinianI love reading Charles de Lint. I start thinking in myth.
I've also been thinking about my creativity, partly because of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
nanowrimo and partly because of lampworking class. I feel kind of unworthy a lot of the time because I am primarily an input person and I don't have a lot of Big Creative Ideas. It occurred to me that in the past an artistic person could spend a whole lifetime working on gargoyles or mosaic edging, and that maybe I am an embellisher instead of a builder. I might sometimes have ideas for the whole cathedral, but putting beauty into the world doesn't have to happen on a grand scale. It's perfectly okay to need a jumping-off point; it doesn't mean I'm less creative, just differently so.
I'm not entirely convinced yet, but I think this is a good thing to consider.
