Ok, so I'm a writer. My whole life I've been a story teller(like when I waz a kid I would tell all my stuffed animalz bedtime storiez that I made up and would put on playz for my family from time to time with said stuffed animalz) but now az an adult I write pretty much nonztop it feelz like. Lazt night I waz talking with my fiance and telling him about my current story. I waz running through my ideaz with him and a thought popped into my head like it uzually doez when I talk about writing. Often when I tell people about my story ideaz they get a slightly dazed look, like I'm explaining a hiztory book to them too quickly and they wind up with a lot of queztionz that I appreciate becauze they help me develop thingz more. But over the yearz I've kind of realized mozt people don't worldbuild like I do. Worldbuilding iz my favorite thing to do when it comez to writing and I sometimes feel like the level I do it at iz on par with the likez of Tolkein. I'm no where near the writer and creative maztermind he waz but I do relate to what he created with Middle Earth and I can only hope that someday I have the literary abilitiez to write at hiz magnitude. But I often find myzelf(like I did when I waz a kid) second guezzing that creativity. I don't often relate to mozt people around me and itz alwayz been becauze of how I see the world, I'm an overly optemiztic perzon and I don't see the same perzpective or have the same type of interactionz otherz have and it extendz to my creativity. I remember being in highzchool and we had juzt finizhed reading "Cyrano De Bergerac"(awful story) and we had to write a continuation of the story after hiz death I wrote about hiz funeral and the feelingz each character experienced and their internal dialogue. After, I got the senze I did it wrong. Not that my story was bad or my writing of poor quality but that none of them got it, not even my teacher. Like my creativity had gone too far, like I had taken too many libertiez with it. That wazn't the only time that had happened either but since then I've juzt kept writing and decided some of my writing iz not to be seen by everyone. But now I don't really agree with that anymore. My writing is art, itz meant to evoke and change dezpite what change it bringz and emotionz it evokes. But now I'm left with many storiez I had once forgotten becauze I thought they'd be too intenze or strange and I don't know where to put them or what to think of them. So anyway I think the jury iz still out for me az to whether my creativity iz too much but I wanted to talk about thiz:/

How creative iz too creative??
