If you want to be like God, create something. Because that is what God does; He is the Creator. And we are made in His image - to be creators in our own dimension. And that is what He wants from us: to be the creative outlets of His Power (energy) on the human level.

Our job is simply to make this world as beautiful as possible through our creativity - through opening ourselves to be pure creative channels. Do this and you will be God-Like in the purest way.

Be a Pure Creative Conduit of Love

Creativity is the sacred act of giving a bit of our heart’s love to the world. To create with love brings forth beauty and is the essential crowning achievement of our being here on earth. At any time during our creative development we can achieve this beauty by being what God wants us to be: loving, humane beings.

Create with love. Bring your artistic works into being lovingly, consciously, giving the best of your self to be seen in whatever media you explore.

Kim McDougall, editor of Between the Cracks Digest, is sponsoring a flash fiction contest with a prize of fifteen dollars. Each month she’ll be posting a writing prompt. Use her prompt to write a story between 500 and 1000 words, and maybe you’ll win.

Kim is looking for stories that fall “between the cracks”. Her publication features stories that combine genres.

Every now and then we have dreams that could be good inspiration for a short story or novel. However dreams, like all thoughts, are fleeting. These inspirations must be written down immediately in a writer’s notebook, in as much detail as possible.

When we get to the point where we’re ready to decide on a new writing project, looking through our notebooks we may come across these notations. They will stir within us the emotions that caused this dream to occur, and should we choose to make this our next writing project, we’ll be assisted by the subconscious pulling us deep into the inner workings of the story line, teaching us more of what we were meant to learn.

Do not worry if your writing doesn’t closely match the exact dream as you remember it. There are many details you may have forgotten; that will be worked out as the story patterns itself after the dream.

Next time you’re stuck for something to write about, think about a dream you’ve had, and use that to jumpstart your imagination.

While I’m on the topic of blogging - I want to introduce you to a great new blogging forum I’ve been enjoying. It is called Authority Blogger. The host is Chris Garrett, who is famous for his personal blog about blogging.

I recommend the Authority Blogger forum for anyone who cares about creating a professional, respect-generating blog that will be linked to and remembered. It is a friendly place, and gives the opportunity for your blog to be critiqued by others who care about blogging.
