Re-evaluating My Creative Value—To Sell Yours

I’ve come to realize that writing, for me, is both a gift and a challenge. I’ve witnessed its remarkable power firsthand—how words can rally communities, drive action, and even land someone a new job just two months after CreativeJason revamped their resume and website. My work has been published in local newspapers and magazines, yet I still don’t see myself as a conventional "professional writer."

Why? Because my attention is selective. I don’t read or write religiously. And if I’m being completely honest, I often find my own first drafts cringe-worthy.

Yet, despite these so-called literary "flaws," I know this much: I don’t write for recreation—I write for purpose. And when purpose aligns with creativity? That’s where the magic happens.

The Drive Behind My Creativity

I was raised in a very controlled environment, which only fueled my curiosity. Writing became my escape—pushing me out of my comfort zone, introducing me to compelling stories, and connecting me with people and ideas that make life richer.

Sure, getting paid is great. But the artist in me finds equal fulfillment in knowing that my work contributes to something meaningful. Whether it’s a published article, a personal essay, or a marketing piece that helps a business thrive, my motivation remains the same: to tell a story worth sharing.

The Challenge & The Thrill of Writing

Even with years in community journalism, I’ve wrestled with turning my introspective lens inward. I find it easier to spotlight others than to analyze my own journey. But perhaps that’s exactly what makes writing so powerful—it allows me to reflect, refine, and reveal the lessons that fuel my creativity.

In my experience, the hardest part of writing isn’t the editing, structuring, or polishing—it’s starting. It takes motivation—and sometimes bravery—to sit down and begin. But once I find the "why" behind a story, my persistence kicks into overdrive. I don’t create for applause—I create for the challenge, the clarity, and the influence words can wield.

Then vs. Now: The Evolution of My Creativity (2025)

  • Then: Writing was something assigned to me I saw it as an obligation not a craft I could shape on my terms

  • Now: Writing is my tool for impact. I create with intention clarity and a purpose that aligns with my values

  • Then: I struggled to believe my voice had real value. Even with published work, I questioned if I was good enough

  • Now: I own my voice and my expertise. My creativity isn’t just valid it’s a driving force helping others succeed

  • Then: I hesitated to promote myself. My storytelling leaned inward more about personal reflection than external action

  • Now: I balance storytelling with business. I know how to turn my creative gift into a service that elevates others

  • Then: I searched for my place in the creative world

  • Now: I create my place. I don’t fit into the mold I build something new
