Creativity

By Cindy Beck


Do you ever have days where you wonder if you're just wasting time writing?
Or moments where you feel your writing isn't good enough—or literary, deep, touching or ____________ (fill in the blank) enough? At one time or another, most of us have felt that way. We've had a bad day, received a disheartening critique or an unexpected rejection, or ended up with writer's block. It's enough to make a writer feel like giving up.

Don't. Don't give up. What you do as a writer has worth.

If you find it hard to believe me, then take it from a man who knows. Click on this video and listen to the words of Elder Uchtdorf about creativity and the place it holds in life.

I love this clip. The music is timed perfectly and by the end of of it, there is a surge in the spirit in the air. I felt edified, uplifted, encouraged, and beloved. What a compassionate, needed message.
