Creative Process In Action

I have to admit: as a writer, I still haven't fully developed a creative process. What I do have fluctuates and changes, often depending upon what book on creativity I happen to be reading.

The Shackles that Bind Us

In recent weeks, in response to the arrests of several artists for making "indecent" paintings in public, artists in India led a protest against the trend established by the countries conservative forces.

I personally do not envision myself writing children's literature. I find it too restrictive, as in children's literature you must watch your language, not let it become too violent or disturbing or—God forbid!—too sexual.
