Are All Writers A Little Crazy?

KS Jones

Creativity, whether written, drawn, painted, or posted draws from a well deep down in
the artist's soul. It's hard to pull it all out and sort through it when you know it's time to write. Often times, it's like cleaning out a drain...you get more than you wanted. Of course, not everyone wants to see what's in their creativity well so they keep it capped off--locked forever. Maybe that's a good thing.

My well holds a myriad of things. Voices of young adults clamoring to have me tell their story as well as middle-aged boys (that's right...no girls) begging for me to give them life so that their stories can be heard, too. Lately, I've have a lot of 3-5 year-olds poking their heads out asking me to tell them a story. It's hard to choose what to write sometimes. So, for now, I'm picking the ones who are shouting the loudest or jumping the highest so they'll be seen above the heads of all the others who have gathered around.

And those of you who are not artists? Yes, I suppose we do appear to be a bit schizophrenic at times. It's okay. We've been called lots of other things, too.
