People tell me I am. I would like to be much much better though. I mostly enjoy painting unfinished woods and making themed hair bows. I had an etsy shop that did relatively well but I closed it for lack of motivation/inspiration.

I have started and stopped many project. I can see this now as the hypo mania it porobably was. i currently have a short story running through my head about all those thoughtful people who uppon hearing about my new dx. say at least it is not cancer. I go to my upcoming annual physical. to find out I have cancer all though out my body. the doc then says at least it isn't bipolar.

Yes. I'm a writer (of a sort), and in general I like to try new things, take new approaches to common activities, try to see things in a different way. This ranges from cake decorating to gardening to writing meta about various fandoms, and creative problem solving.

no.

i'm really not creative.

i'm the type of person who if asked, what would you call your new puppy, would answer, dog, puppy, woof, or something like that.

1 thing i am good at though is ideas

say if someone asked me how should i have this room in the house.. i can usually stretch my mind to think of something

no go for poetry/ stories

I am somewhat, I will start projects, and then get distracted and leave them half finished. I now know this as a form of my hypomania.
Thanks for this!

My creativity is who I am. It is both inspiring and consuming. Everything in my life is touched with creativity.

People tell me I am and I do like to try new things (mostly creative things). One of the things I love to do is write in my RPG games. I love creating new characters and writing out stories. So, I guess I am creative.

When I am depressed NO, but otherwise I create art (mosaics, mixed media), enjoy painting the house and coming up with unique ideas for furniture etc.

At this moment in my sucky mood my most creative thing is putting bananas in my cereal.

Yes. I am creative. But would like to be more so. I always joke that God gave me the heart of an artist, He just didn't give me the talent to go with it. But, I write poetry and love the arts - art, dance, music.....- and I cross stitch...it's just following a pattern but it is beautiful when finished.

I love to write and do crafty things, so I think I'm creative. I'm also really into photography. But writing is my first love- and I really want to pen a novel someday

I like to write. I've written a few books (never tried to be published since I don't handle rejection well). The past few months I have been unable to write anything at all - not even resume cover letters. All word elude me now. I'm not depressed or manic. I think the meds have tapped out creative side. Oh well.

I'm told I am, but since none of my art work hangs in a museum so I disagree. My pottery and art work is off the wall and political.

Nope I have the creativity of a stump. I'm okay with it though.
