Interview on what it’s like to be creative everyday. When nothing comes to find to write, write an interview of how I am feeling.
**
What is it like to be creative?
Exhausting!
Really?
Yes,
Tell me more?
My mind spins like a figure skater twirling on the cold, pale lavender ice.
A slippery path I glides down, catching glimpses of
vibrant images, intriguing word play, catchy phrases,
Powerful sounds, soothing textures,
Heartbreaking memories, cherished ones too.
Thoughts cascade together like a beautiful waterfall.
But then, what direction should I take next?
What is my purpose?
What’s my lasting goal?
As the heavy red curtain parts, like in a Broadway show,
Time—
Time is my greatest antagonist.
It can slip away softly, like falling snow,
Or rush past me like quicksand,
Leaving me clutching at the sinking sunkiss grains of a fleeting moment.
But that is life isn’t it?
Oh, I know it is. The thing is, I just wish that my creativity would flow as regularly as the crystal spring rivers.
If life were a human being, what would you like to say?
Please, stop throwing me curveballs like a New York Yankee pitcher. Just let me be. My brain feels like it’s on Space Mountain roller coaster, with twist and turns and jagged drops of mind numbing void.
Do you regret choosing a career that demands creatively every day?
Regrets? Never! I wouldn’t miss this ride for anything.
About the Creator
FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

So creative.
Oh, I like the self interview, who better to answer the questions.
An interesting concept that in itself is very creative. Nice job.
Your interview perfectly encapsulates the highs and lows of the creative journey. The vivid imagery and raw honesty resonate deeply, making it a relatable and captivating read. Brilliantly expressed
This by itself was soooo creative! I truly admire you for this!
Love this interview! This is a great way to battle writer's block
And you should never miss it as the world would miss a talented creator!
Great job! Nothing ventured and all.....Regrets should be worn as medals
You are a true creative person. You write and paint and can probably do even more creative activities like write a song. Great job.
