The First Blog

Typically, when I'm chatting with someone, and the subject of what I do comes up, and I tell that person I'm a writer and an artist (as if that's some magical combination that warrants an oooh or ahhh) they nod, smile knowingly and say..."Oh you're one of those creative types." Rather than put them off, or what's more, actually insult their moribund stereotyping, I nod and smile knowingly. It did, however, get me thinking about what "those creative types," usually do, look like, or act like that we deserve a "type" at all. I'm pretty sure that I go against the typing that most people would ascribe to. In fact I'm almost positive that I can defy anybody's (save, of course, for those who actually know me) definition of "one of those creative types." So go ahead and let me know what you think a "creative type" is and we'll see how close it matches my profile.
Until Next Time

One of those creative types
