Creative Identity
Your unique fingerprint, your stamp, your style— your Creative Identity. A murder mystery novelist, a period-drama enthusiast, a lover of handmade sculptures. What speaks to you when you write something—the language, structure and imagery, or the plot and characters.
“There are two kinds of people who sit around all day thinking about killing people... mystery writers and serial killers. I'm the kind that pays better.” ― Richard Castle, from American television drama, Castle.
Your Creative Identity may be exceptionally diverse, or centred around one genre and creative practice. Jane Austen, for example, was primarily a romance novelist, leaving clear creative marks on the world— having eight (if not more) adaptions of her novel Pride and Prejudice made.
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.” ― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
