Why Creativity? Why Writing?

My decision to take Creative Writing had been festering since high school, but burst into a necessary task last semester. The more specific situation that brought about this change can be read here, but the short version is that I realized after years of writing nothing but analytical essays, my artistic soul had been sapped. I could not write anything fanciful, anything beautiful (unless you count in-depth technical comparisons as beautiful).

There was a need for a change. And that is why I am in this class. I want to recapture the thrill of constructing a sentence that makes people sigh from its glory. I want to think in imaginative terms. Most of all, after years of living without it, I want my writing mojo back!
