What's your favorite way to be creative?

My favorite way to be creative is with other people!  I love bouncing ideas off of others and working on projects together.  If we’re talking genres, I’m primarily a writer/poet, but I also play trumpet, dance, and take photos!  Some of my favorite creative projects are my photo shoots I’ve done with my friends, which involve a lot of inspiration and laughter.

Why do you love LSWA?

I love LSWA because it’s a community of people that inspire me to do what I love.  The friends I’ve made here in the last couple years keep me honest in my creative endeavors, and they also keep me authentic, ensuring I don’t censure my creativity.  LSWA is a community of lovely people who bring out my creative side.
