My creativity comes when I least expect it, like if im happy I will tend to neglect my work a lil, but if im feeling shit the last thing I wana do is torture myself by trying to create something I like. But then out of the blue, when im really neutral and nothing, BLAM i get this surge of ideas and creativity.

I’m wishing you the best and hopefully creativity will come along more often ;)

I’m very much the same. Any sort of personal/mental devastation completely robs me of creative spark. And yet…. I know that if I sit down and do creative work, I’ll be happier. So maybe I should think about that more next time I get in a funk…

I’m definitely more creative when I’m happy, but unfortunately I do feel depressed a LOT, so I sometimes feel like one of those stupid “tortured souls” :S. Sometimes when I’m feeling blue though I find myself composing music, or drawing. I can do this along as I’m alone. I don’t like being like this, but it’s just the way it is. The art I create always reflects the mood i was in when i created it, which is why some of my stuff is all pink and frilly, and some is gloomy and cynical….
Rainy days make me feel very creative for some reason!
It’s funny how differently creativity manifests itself in people :)

Everyone is creative in their own ways, and you are DEFINITELY creative Katie!
You write, you’re in roller derby, you put amazing outfits together and make your whole look an art piece. You are creative. :]

It’s so true! Even just baking, though it’s like therapy for me at times and helps a ton, I find when I’m too upset, I can turn my favourite recipe into a pile of junk I wouldn’t feed to my worst enemy.
Pretty soon those happy days will be far more frequent :)
